Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊟ has the Unicode code point U+329F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+329F to binary:
00110010 10011111
. 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:
11100011 10001010 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+329F is known as "CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH ATTENTION." This symbol is a part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which consists of characters used in various Chinese languages and other East Asian languages. In digital text, this character typically serves as a visual signal to draw attention to specific information or sections. While it shares similarities with the ideograph concept, U+329F is not directly associated with any particular language's script or syntax. However, its usage in different contexts may reflect cultural and linguistic nuances, especially in East Asian digital communications where visual cues often replace explicit instructions or indications.
