Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋪ has the Unicode code point U+32EA. 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+32EA to binary:
00110010 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+32EA, or CIRCLED KATAKANA HI (Ｇ), is a typographical symbol used in digital text within the Japanese writing system. It represents the kana character 'ギ' (Gi) in the Katakana script, which is one of two syllabaries used in the modern Japanese language alongside Hiragana. CIRCLED KATAKANA HI is commonly employed in the romanization of Japanese words and names for non-Japanese speakers to facilitate pronunciation and translation. It holds a significant role in linguistic contexts, including academic research on languages and cultural studies, as well as technical applications involving data encoding and text processing. U+32EA's usage contributes to the accuracy of translations and improves the understanding of Japanese language and culture globally.
