Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓳ has the Unicode code point U+24F3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+24F3 to binary:
00100100 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+24F3, also known as NEGATIVE CIRCLED NUMBER NINETEEN, is a specialized symbol used in digital text, particularly in the fields of mathematics, computer programming, and data representation. Its primary role lies within the context of subtractive or negative quantities, often employed to denote a decrease or reduction in value relative to its positive counterpart, U+24F0 (CIRCLED NUMBER ONE). In typography and digital communication, this character may be utilized for clearer expression of mathematical operations, coding syntax, or data encoding where the distinction between positive and negative values is crucial. Despite not holding a prominent position in everyday language usage, its significance is undeniable within specific technical and cultural contexts.
