Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋕ has the Unicode code point U+32D5. 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+32D5 to binary:
00110010 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+32D5 represents the 'CIRCLED KATAKANA KA' (カ) in digital text. This character is a part of the JIS X 0213:2000 standard, which defines characters for use with computers and digital communications in Japan. Its typical usage is found within the Japanese language, specifically in the Katakana script. Katakana is one of three scripts used in the modern Japanese writing system, along with Hiragana and Kanji. This character, カ, is used to represent the sound "ka" or "kah" at the beginning of a word or as part of a compound word, playing a vital role in both written and spoken communication in Japanese. It can also be used for onomatopoeia or to transcribe foreign words that lack equivalent sounds in Japanese. Overall, U+32D5 is an essential character in digital text representation of the Japanese language, reflecting its rich cultural, linguistic, and technical context within the realm of Unicode and typography.
