Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊪ has the Unicode code point U+32AA. 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+32AA to binary:
00110010 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+32AA, known as CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH RELIGION (), is a unique symbol used in digital text to represent the concept of religion. This character's primary usage lies within the context of Chinese typography, where it is often employed to denote religious or spiritual matters when discussing philosophy, history, and culture. Despite its name, the CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH RELIGION does not correspond directly to any single term in English or other languages; instead, it serves as a general visual marker to signify the topic of religion in a document or text where traditional ideographic script is employed. In terms of technical context, U+32AA is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block within the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide comprehensive support for characters used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
