Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊺ has the Unicode code point U+32BA. 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+32BA to binary:
00110010 10111010. 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 10001010 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+32BA represents the "CIRCLED NUMBER FORTY FIVE" in digital typography. This symbol is commonly used in various applications to denote the number forty-five, particularly when it needs to be distinguished from its non-circled counterpart or to emphasize a specific value within a numerical series. U+32BA belongs to the larger group of circled numbers, which are useful for creating visual separations and hierarchies in mathematical equations, scientific notations, and certain programming contexts. Although the character does not hold any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its role as a typographical variation of the number forty-five, it serves an important function in ensuring clarity and readability within digital texts that involve numeric values.
