Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊎ has the Unicode code point U+328E. 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+328E to binary:
00110010 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+328E, the Circled Ideograph Metal, is a typographic character with significant cultural and historical importance. In digital text, it serves as a visual indicator for the Jōyō Kanji, a set of 2135 characters that represent essential Japanese vocabulary. The character is used to denote the "metal" category among the 21 standard Jōyō kanji classifications. This categorization system was developed by the Japanese Ministry of Education in 1946 to streamline the learning and use of kanji in written communication. The Circled Ideograph Metal is an important tool for educators, language learners, and users in various fields to easily identify and differentiate between the metal-related characters, ensuring accurate understanding and usage of these fundamental ideograms in the Japanese language.
