Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊣ has the Unicode code point U+32A3. 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+32A3 to binary:
00110010 10100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+32A3, known as the "Circled Ideograph Correct," is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for editorial purposes. It is a symbol representing correction or revision, typically employed by editors, proofreaders, and typesetters to indicate that the preceding text or character should be replaced with an alternative version due to errors or inconsistencies. The symbol's usage can be traced back to traditional Japanese manuscript correction practices, where it was used in conjunction with handwritten notes on woodblock print editions during the Edo period. Today, the Circled Ideograph Correct is used across various languages and scripts that utilize Unicode, demonstrating the versatility of this essential typographical tool in global communication.
