Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋘ has the Unicode code point U+32D8. 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+32D8 to binary:
00110010 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+32D8 represents the "CIRCLED KATAKANA KE" (カヮ). In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in written communication, particularly in the Japanese language. It is part of the Katakana script, which consists of 48 basic characters and is used alongside the Hiragana script for native Japanese words. The Katakana script is primarily employed for foreign loanwords or onomatopoeic expressions. Its usage is prevalent in various mediums, including print, web, and mobile applications. U+32D8's cultural significance lies in its contribution to the richness of the Japanese language and its ability to express a wide range of concepts accurately. The character's technical context highlights the importance of Unicode encoding in enabling seamless digital communication across languages, thereby fostering global understanding and collaboration.
