Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊒ has the Unicode code point U+3292. 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+3292 to binary:
00110010 10010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+3292, known as CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH HAVE, plays a significant role in the digital text of various cultures, particularly within the Japanese language system. In Japan, this particular character is primarily employed to denote a specific ideogram in a series of Chinese characters known as the Kangxi radicals. These radicals are commonly used in the composition of many Chinese and Japanese characters for their phonetic or semantic indications. As an integral part of these Kangxi radicals, U+3292 helps to maintain accuracy and consistency in written communication across these languages. Its usage showcases the richness and complexity of linguistic expression within the East Asian region, while also highlighting the importance of Unicode in facilitating interoperability between different script systems.
