Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑼ has the Unicode code point U+247C. 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+247C to binary:
00100100 01111100. 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 10010001 10111100

Description
U+247C, also known as the Parenthesized Digit Nine, is a typographical character primarily used in digital text for representing the numeral '9' within parenthesis. This Unicode character is often employed to visually differentiate numbers in various mathematical equations or formulas and can be particularly useful when displaying complex expressions where clarity of representation is crucial. In addition to its role in mathematics, the Parenthesized Digit Nine has limited applications in linguistics and cultural contexts as it serves more as a typographical tool than a linguistic element. Overall, U+247C plays a minor yet essential function in digital text, contributing to the precision and understanding of numeric values within various fields of study and communication.
