Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊮ has the Unicode code point U+32AE. 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+32AE to binary:
00110010 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+32AE, also known as the Circled Ideograph Resource, is a unique typographical character within the Unicode Standard that serves a specific purpose in digital text. As an encircled representation of the Chinese ideograph 凸, it is often used to denote a resource or object in certain contexts, particularly in the fields of information technology and software development. This specialized usage can be traced back to its origins in traditional Chinese characters, where 凸 signifies something that protrudes or stands out. In digital text, U+32AE is commonly employed as a marker for resources within resource-based systems and applications. It helps users easily identify and differentiate between various resources in a visually appealing manner. Due to its cultural and linguistic roots in Chinese characters, the Circled Ideograph Resource character holds particular significance in software and digital products developed for or in collaboration with Asian markets. Despite its specialized use, U+32AE remains an essential component of the Unicode Standard, showcasing the comprehensive nature of the system and its ability to cater to diverse cultural and linguistic needs. As technology continues to advance and bridge global communication gaps, characters like U+32AE play a vital role in facilitating accurate and effective information exchange across different cultures and industries.
