Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒣ has the Unicode code point U+24A3. 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+24A3 to binary:
00100100 10100011
. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+24A3 represents the "PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER H". This character is used in digital text for various typographical purposes, often for displaying a small letter 'h' within parentheses. Its primary role is to provide an alternative representation of the lowercase English alphabet letter 'h', which may be useful in specific design or stylistic contexts. While not widely used in everyday language, it can be found in specialized documents, such as technical manuals, typography guides, and certain programming languages. U+24A3 is part of the "Combining Diacritical Marks" category within Unicode, and it plays a minor but significant role in enabling diverse text representations to cater to different user preferences and needs.
