Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒨ has the Unicode code point U+24A8. 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+24A8 to binary:
00100100 10101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+24A8 is the Unicode code point for the "PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER M" character, which is a typographic symbol used in digital text. It is typically used to represent the lowercase letter 'm' within parentheses, often for emphasizing or highlighting its presence in a specific context. This character holds significance in linguistic and cultural settings where emphasis on particular letters or phonemes is essential, such as in transcription work, foreign language learning, or orthography studies. In technical contexts, it may be used to denote specific rules or concepts within programming languages or textual representations of data structures. However, the usage of U+24A8 remains limited due to its relatively recent addition to the Unicode standard and the absence of widespread adoption in typical text applications.
