Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋺ has the Unicode code point U+32FA. 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+32FA to binary:
00110010 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+32FA represents the "CIRCLED KATAKANA RO" (カロ), which is a component of the Japanese writing system known as Katakana. In digital text, this character typically serves as an individual letter used to represent the sound "ro" or "wo" in various words and phrases. As part of the Katakana script, U+32FA is utilized predominantly within the Japanese language, and it has no direct relevance to other languages. The Katakana script is known for its phonetic properties and is often used for foreign loanwords or onomatopoeic expressions in Japanese. Its usage can be observed across various digital platforms, including websites, documents, and digital communications, where it is employed to transcribe Japanese words that contain the "ro" or "wo" sound.
