Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋟ has the Unicode code point U+32DF. 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+32DF to binary:
00110010 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+32DF, also known as CIRCLED KATAKANA TA, is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically within the JIS X 0213:2000 extension range. In digital text, it serves as a typographical element, contributing to the visual representation of written content. It holds a significant role in the Japanese language system, being an integral part of the Katakana script, which is used for transliterating foreign words and representing certain native Japanese sounds not available through Hiragana characters. The CIRCLED KATAKANA TA character specifically represents the sound "ta" at the end of a syllable block, when followed by the circonflexe accent (ゥ), or by itself as an independent consonant. It is primarily used for transcription purposes, particularly in romanizing Japanese names and words. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, it plays a part in preserving and transmitting the phonetics and grammar of the Japanese language on digital platforms, enabling efficient communication across different devices and applications. While not widely utilized beyond its specific function within the Japanese writing system, the CIRCLED KATAKANA TA remains an essential tool for those working with or studying the intricacies of this unique script.
