Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓮ has the Unicode code point U+24EE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+24EE to binary:
00100100 11101110
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10010011 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+24EE, known as NEGATIVE CIRCLED NUMBER FOURTEEN, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a negative sign within the context of mathematical or scientific equations, particularly when dealing with quantities and values. This particular glyph is part of the Unicode range for "Mathematical Operators" (U+2460-U+2479), which includes various mathematical symbols and operators used in digital text to maintain consistency across different platforms and devices. The NEGATIVE CIRCLED NUMBER FOURTEEN is particularly useful when expressing negative numbers or values, as it combines the concept of a "minus" sign with the visual appeal of a circle containing the number fourteen. This character is valuable in various fields such as finance, engineering, physics, and computer programming where precise communication of negative values is crucial.
