Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉏ has the Unicode code point U+324F. 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+324F to binary:
00110010 01001111. 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 10001001 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+324F, known as "CIRCLED NUMBER EIGHTY ON BLACK SQUARE," is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for its aesthetic appeal and mathematical significance. This unique character combines the concept of the number 80 with the visual representation of a circle within a black square. In certain digital contexts, such as in game design or computer programming, it may be employed to indicate a specific value or variable. Despite not having direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its mathematical and visual attributes, this character contributes to the richness and diversity of Unicode's vast symbol repertoire. As digital communication continues to evolve, so does the usage of characters like U+324F, which enriches our ability to express complex ideas in more creative ways.
