Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒠ has the Unicode code point U+24A0. 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+24A0 to binary:
00100100 10100000. 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 10010010 10100000

Description
U+24A0 is the Unicode code point for Parenthesized Latin Small Letter E, a typographic character primarily used in digital text for creating distinct visual forms of lowercase letters within parentheses. This unique symbol serves to distinguish specific letterforms while maintaining readability and coherence in typography-centric contexts, such as in design, art, or typographical explorations. As an example of Unicode's comprehensive approach to encoding various characters and scripts, U+24A0 showcases the versatility of this encoding system in accommodating a wide range of typographic needs across cultures and languages.
