Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋙ has the Unicode code point U+32D9. 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+32D9 to binary:
00110010 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+32D9, known as CIRCLED KATAKANA KO (ヲ), is a key component of the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it serves a vital role by representing the sound "wo" or "o" in the Katakana script. The Katakana syllabary is one of two scripts used for writing modern Japanese and is often employed to transcribe foreign words or onomatopoeia. U+32D9, along with other katakana characters, facilitates accurate pronunciation and interpretation of these borrowed terms. This character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical value, contributing to the richness and expressiveness of the Japanese language and its digital representation.
