Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊓ has the Unicode code point U+3293. 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+3293 to binary:
00110010 10010011. 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 10010011

Description
The character U+3293, also known as CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SOCIETY, is a unique and culturally significant symbol in digital text. This ideographic glyph holds significant importance in Japanese typography due to its historical association with the social structure of Japan's Edo period (1603-1868). In this era, the CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SOCIETY represented a collective body that managed a village or a group of villages. This character plays a crucial role in the understanding and study of historical Japanese society, culture, and governance. The use of U+3293 is primarily limited to contexts that require the reference to this specific period or the societal construct it represents. Its presence in digital text helps scholars, researchers, and students gain insight into Japan's Edo era social system. Furthermore, the character showcases the richness and complexity of Unicode, a computing industry standard that enables computers to represent and display text using characters from many different languages and scripts, including Japanese. By including U+3293 in digital text, we contribute to the preservation and accessibility of valuable historical information.
