Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋝ has the Unicode code point U+32DD. 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+32DD to binary:
00110010 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+32DD is known as the "CIRCLED KATAKANA SE". It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language. This character is part of the extended Katakana script, which is one of three Japanese scripts (the other two being Hiragana and Kanji). Katakana is primarily used for foreign words and onomatopoeia, making it a vital tool for accurately translating and conveying certain concepts in Japanese text. U+32DD specifically represents the sound "se" at the end of a word, which makes it an important component in forming words with specific grammatical endings or to signify particular meanings. Its usage in digital text demonstrates the rich linguistic diversity within the Japanese language and its reliance on Unicode for accurate representation across various platforms and devices.
