Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒪ has the Unicode code point U+24AA. 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+24AA to binary:
00100100 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+24AA is the Unicode character code for the "PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER O". This is a unique typographical character used in digital text, primarily serving as a stylistic variant of the lowercase letter 'o'. It's created by enclosing the base letter within parentheses, giving it a distinctive appearance that can be used for emphasis or to differentiate the letter from others. Its usage is not widespread due to its niche application and limited compatibility across different digital platforms. Nevertheless, in specific typographic contexts where unique or stylized characters are desired, the PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER O can be effectively employed.
