Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋣ has the Unicode code point U+32E3. 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+32E3 to binary:
00110010 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+32E3 represents the "CIRCLED KATAKANA TO" (カット) symbol in digital text. This particular character is used primarily within the Japanese language system, specifically within the context of Katakana script. Katakana is one of two syllabaries used in the modern Japanese writing system alongside Hiragana. U+32E3 serves as a typographical representation of the English word "cut" or "to cut", which is often used to denote a scissor-like action or the act of severing, in various contexts such as cooking, crafting, or gardening. In digital text, it allows for clear and accurate communication in these scenarios. While this character may not be widely used in everyday language, it remains an essential tool for specific industries or situations where precise instructions are required.
