Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋤ has the Unicode code point U+32E4. 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+32E4 to binary:
00110010 11100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+32E4 represents the circled Katakana letter "NA" (CIRCLED KATAKANA NA), which plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in Japanese typography. This character is used to denote the consonant-vowel sound "na" within the Katakana script, one of the three scripts used in the Japanese writing system. In its circled form, the CIRCLED KATAKANA NA often serves as a symbol or marker for various purposes, such as indicating ruby text or a diacritical mark. Its usage is prevalent in digital documents, websites, and applications that require support for the Japanese language. Due to its cultural and linguistic significance, the CIRCLED KATAKANA NA has become essential in maintaining accuracy and authenticity within digital content related to Japanese typography.
