Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋶ has the Unicode code point U+32F6. 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+32F6 to binary:
00110010 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+32F6 represents "CIRCLED KATAKANA RA" (カピ), a symbol used in the Katakana script, which is one of the three primary scripts in the Japanese writing system. This character is utilized for phonetic transcriptions and onomatopoeic words in digital text, serving as a representation of the /ra/ sound. While it is not commonly found outside of linguistic or technical contexts, U+32F6 plays an essential role in accurately transcribing Japanese sounds and words in digital communication and documentation.
