Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒵ has the Unicode code point U+24B5. 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+24B5 to binary:
00100100 10110101. 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 10110101

Description
U+24B5 is a Unicode character known as "PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER Z." It represents the lowercase letter 'z' enclosed within parentheses, either for emphasis, stylistic purposes, or to denote its inclusion in a specific context. This unique typographic symbol plays an essential role in digital text for various applications, including coding, programming, and technical writing. The character U+24B5 has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its use as a distinct form of the lowercase 'z.' It is often used to differentiate between the letter 'z' and other characters within a specific text or code. The PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER Z can be found in digital documents that require clarity in character distinctions, such as programming languages, markup languages, or specialized texts where the traditional representation of the lowercase 'z' could cause confusion.
