Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋮ has the Unicode code point U+32EE. 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+32EE to binary:
00110010 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+32EE, known as "CIRCLED KATAKANA MA" (カマ), holds a significant position in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language. It forms part of the Katakana script, which is utilized for various purposes such as transcription of foreign words, onomatopoeia, and technical or scientific terms. As one of the 48 basic Katakana characters, it contributes to the rich and expressive nature of the Japanese writing system. Its usage underscores the importance of typography and character encoding standards like Unicode in ensuring accurate representation of text across digital platforms.
