Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉆ has the Unicode code point U+3246. 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+3246 to binary:
00110010 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+3246, also known as CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SCHOOL (Ｆ), is a typographic symbol widely used in digital text, primarily within the context of Japanese written communication. It serves to represent the concept of "school" or "education" and is typically employed in educational settings, literature, and informal conversations in Japan. Although it may appear as an ideograph, U+3246 is actually derived from a combination of two kanji characters: 学 (gakushū), meaning study or learning, and 校 (kō), referring to a school or educational institution. This unique symbol has become a popular way to convey the idea of education in a concise and easily recognizable manner. The CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SCHOOL not only highlights the cultural significance of education in Japan but also showcases the versatility and richness of Unicode in representing diverse linguistic contexts.
