Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋚ has the Unicode code point U+32DA. 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+32DA to binary:
00110010 11011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+32DA, known as the Circled Katakana SA (カットスラッシュアルファート), is a symbol predominantly used in digital text to represent the cut-slash, a typographical element commonly found in Japanese typography. It serves as an alternative to the standard slash and is often employed for its aesthetic appeal in various design contexts. The character's unique form, featuring a katakana SA character encircled by a semicircle, lends itself to its use in logos, branding, and other creative applications where the standard slash might appear too generic or plain.
