Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒀ has the Unicode code point U+2480. 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+2480 to binary:
00100100 10000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2480, also known as the Parenthesized Number Thirteen (④), holds a significant role in digital text as it is used to represent the numeral '13' within parenthesis brackets. This unique symbol is part of the "Number Forms" block introduced in Unicode 5.1, which contains various typographic representations of numbers. U+2480 is particularly useful for those working in fields such as information technology, programming, or statistics where clear and concise representation of numerical data is crucial. While it may seem like a minor detail to some, this character helps to improve the readability and clarity of digital text by visually distinguishing numerals from other characters.
