Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋥ has the Unicode code point U+32E5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+32E5 to binary:
00110010 11100101
. 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 10100101

Description
U+32E5 is the Unicode code point for Circled Katakana Ni (ヌ), a character used primarily within the Japanese language. It serves as a numeral signifier in the phonetic Katakana script, representing the sound 'ni'. This alphabetic system, based on the Latin script, has been adapted for use in various languages, including Japanese. The "Circled" variant of this character is commonly employed in technical documentation and scientific writing to differentiate it from other similar characters or to avoid ambiguity in certain contexts. This practice aids readers by clearly delineating between related symbols and enhances the readability and comprehension of specialized texts. Overall, U+32E5 plays a significant role in digital text formatting for precise communication across various fields.
