Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋢ has the Unicode code point U+32E2. 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+32E2 to binary:
00110010 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+32E2, or CIRCLED KATAKANA TE (ピ), holds significance as a specific symbol within the Japanese writing system. This character is part of the extended Hiragana character set, known as Katakana, which primarily functions for transcription of foreign words and onomatopoeia in the Japanese language. The usage of this character in digital text typically represents the phoneme /tɛ/. The CIRCLED KATAKANA TE symbol is employed in various contexts, such as proper noun transliteration or creating new vocabulary by adapting foreign words to the Japanese phonetic system. It also plays a role in linguistic and cultural preservation, allowing for the accurate representation of foreign terms in digital Japanese text while ensuring readability.
