Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋗ has the Unicode code point U+32D7. 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+32D7 to binary:
00110010 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+32D7, the Circled Katakana Ku (カヶ), is a unique character within the Unicode Standard. It is used primarily in digital text for its aesthetic value and to distinguish it from the standard Katakana Ku (ク). This character is commonly employed in Japanese typography and design, where it serves as a visual element rather than contributing to the meaning of the text. U+32D7 is often used in informal settings or creative works due to its distinct appearance, which features a circle encompassing the Katakana character for "Ku". The use of this character reflects the rich cultural and linguistic diversity found within Japan's writing systems. In technical contexts, U+32D7 is an essential element for accurate representation and encoding of text in digital formats, ensuring that documents remain faithful to their original design.
