Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒡ has the Unicode code point U+24A1. 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+24A1 to binary:
00100100 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+24A1, also known as PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER F, is a typographical representation of the lowercase letter 'f' within parentheses. In digital text, this character serves to denote the use of the letter 'f' in a technical or linguistic context where parenthesized characters are employed for specific purposes such as coding, encryption, or cryptography. U+24A1 is often utilized in programming languages and mathematical notation systems where parentheses are essential to signify operations, function calls, or grouping of elements. Despite its relative obscurity compared to other Unicode characters, the PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER F plays a crucial role in certain specialized fields by providing a clear and distinct visual representation of the letter 'f' within parentheses, facilitating readability and understanding for those familiar with its usage.
