Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒬ has the Unicode code point U+24AC. 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+24AC to binary:
00100100 10101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+24AC, known as the Parenthesized Latin Small Letter Q, is a typographic representation of the lowercase letter "q" enclosed within parentheses. In digital text, this character serves a specific role in typography and typesetting, particularly in situations where a visually distinct or stylized form of the letter "q" is desired. While it does not have a widely recognized cultural or linguistic context, its unique presentation may be employed to convey a sense of irony, sarcasm, or emphasis within textual content. The Parenthesized Latin Small Letter Q is a relatively obscure character in the Unicode Standard, and as such, its usage is often limited to specific design requirements or creative endeavors.
