Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒦ has the Unicode code point U+24A6. 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+24A6 to binary:
00100100 10100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+24A6 is a typographical character representing the lowercase Latin letter 'k' within parentheses. In the realm of Unicode and digital text, this unique symbol serves as a distinct visual identifier for specific linguistic or technical contexts. The primary usage of U+24A6 is to denote the presence of the letter 'k' in situations where typographical conventions require enclosing letters within parentheses for clarity or emphasis. It has found applications in fields such as linguistics, typeface design, and digital media production, where the need arises to highlight specific letter forms or contrast them with other characters.
