Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋩ has the Unicode code point U+32E9. 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+32E9 to binary:
00110010 11101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+32E9, or CIRCLED KATAKANA HA, is a significant character in the Unicode Standard, representing a specific syllabic sound used in the Japanese script known as Katakana. This character holds vital importance in digital text, particularly for its role in transcribing words and names from Romaji (Japanese transliteration using Latin alphabet) to Kanji-based (Hiragana and Katakana) scripts. The CIRCLED KATAKANA HA is employed to denote the syllable 'ha' with an added circular accent, which helps differentiate it from other similar characters in the script. This unique character contributes to the accuracy of translations and textual communication within the Japanese language, and it showcases the versatility and efficiency of Unicode in representing a wide range of scripts globally.
