Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋭ has the Unicode code point U+32ED. 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+32ED to binary:
00110010 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+32ED represents the "CIRCLED KATAKANA HO" (カット), a symbol in the Katakana script, which is one of the three scripts used in the Japanese writing system. This character is part of the JIS X 0213:1997 and JIS X 0212:1990 standards for Japanese text encoding. In digital text, U+32ED is commonly utilized to transcribe phonetic sounds or proper nouns in the Japanese language. It has no cultural or linguistic significance on its own but contributes to accurate transcription and readability when used within the context of written Japanese. As an integral part of Unicode, U+32ED allows for seamless communication and information exchange between different languages and platforms.
