Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊅ has the Unicode code point U+3285. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3285 to binary:
00110010 10000101
. 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 10000101

Description
U+3285, known as the "CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SIX", is a character from the Unicode Standard, which is widely used for digital text encoding. This particular character has a significant role in Chinese typography and numeral systems. It represents the number six when used in written Chinese characters or in the context of mathematical or technical expressions. The Circled IDEOGRAPH SIX provides a clear visual distinction from its counterpart, the simple ideograph for the number six. This character can be found in various digital text platforms and is often utilized in the fields of technology, mathematics, and linguistics to represent numerical values within the Chinese writing system. In summation, U+3285, or CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SIX, serves as a crucial numeral in digitally encoded Chinese text, contributing to its accuracy and readability.
