Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋡ has the Unicode code point U+32E1. 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+32E1 to binary:
00110010 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+32E1, known as the "CIRCLED KATAKANA TU," is a vital component of digital text in the Japanese writing system. It plays a significant role in representing the consonant-vowel sounds of the Katakana script, which is used primarily for borrowed words from foreign languages and for technical or scientific terms in the Japanese language. The Circled Katakana Tu character, much like other characters in the Katakana alphabet, can be utilized to provide phonetic guidance in reading aloud. Additionally, it helps maintain consistency and readability within digital text, contributing to clear communication and minimizing misinterpretation. Despite its limited usage outside of Japanese typography, the Circled Katakana Tu symbol holds an essential position in the realm of typography and linguistic representation.
