Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊘ has the Unicode code point U+3298. 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+3298 to binary:
00110010 10011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+3298, the Circled Ideograph Labor, is a unique typographic character within the Unicode standard. Its primary role in digital text lies in its application as an ideogram representing "labor" or "work" within the context of Japanese language and culture. The symbol comprises two distinct elements: a circle and the Chinese character for labor, 労 (rō). This combination denotes the concept of diligence and hard work, often used in professional settings to emphasize dedication and effort. While its usage may be less widespread outside of the Japanese language, its inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates a commitment to preserving and representing the richness of global linguistic and cultural expression.
