Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋰ has the Unicode code point U+32F0. 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+32F0 to binary:
00110010 11110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+32F0, known as CIRCLED KATAKANA MU, is a significant symbol within the digital text realm, particularly in the Japanese language. It represents a specific sound or phoneme in the Katakana syllabary, which is one of three scripts used to write modern Japanese. This script primarily consists of characters that represent consonant-vowel syllables, with U+32F0 being the representation for the "mu" sound. In a linguistic context, the character has a vital role in transcribing and representing the diverse range of sounds within the Japanese language. As part of Unicode, U+32F0 allows for accurate text rendering and character encoding, enabling seamless communication across digital platforms. By understanding the significance of this character and its function within the Katakana script, users can better appreciate the intricacies of the Japanese language and its unique typographical elements.
