Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋓ has the Unicode code point U+32D3. 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+32D3 to binary:
00110010 11010011. 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 10001011 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+32D3, known as "CIRCLED KATAKANA E," is a crucial element in the digital text representation of the Japanese language. It belongs to the extended Katakana script, which was derived from Hiragana and is used to write syllables for certain words in the Japanese language, particularly for foreign words and onomatopoeia. This specific character represents the sound "E" when pronounced with a high pitch in katakana phonetic alphabet. U+32D3 plays a significant role in digital communications, translations, and text editions where the nuanced pronunciation of Japanese or foreign words is essential. It carries no cultural or linguistic context beyond its phonetic value, but contributes to maintaining the integrity and accuracy of written information in Japanese typography.
