Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉇ has the Unicode code point U+3247. 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+3247 to binary:
00110010 01000111. 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 10001001 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+3247, known as the Circled Ideograph Kotō (卩), plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language. This unique character is part of the extended kanji set, which includes characters that are not commonly used in modern Japanese but hold historical and cultural significance. The Kotō is derived from the Chinese character 永, which represents a vessel or container in ancient Chinese script. In traditional Japanese writing systems, the Circled Ideograph Kotō represented various meanings, including a vessel, receptacle, or storage container. However, due to its infrequent usage in contemporary Japanese, it is primarily used for typographic and design purposes, offering a distinctive visual element in digital text. The character's unique appearance and cultural significance make it an interesting choice for designers and enthusiasts of traditional Asian scripts.
