Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊾ has the Unicode code point U+32BE. 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+32BE to binary:
00110010 10111110. 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 10111110

Description
The character U+32BE is known as the "CIRCLED NUMBER FORTY NINE" in Unicode typography. This character has a significant role in digital text for its usage in mathematics, specifically when representing the number forty-nine in scripts or equations. Due to its circular design, it is often used in various mathematical notations and number systems that require clear visual differentiation between numbers. In some cultures, circle numbers are also associated with ancient astronomy, where they were utilized to denote celestial objects' positions during specific periods. This character provides a unique visual cue for readers to understand the context in which it is used, ensuring accurate interpretation and reducing potential misunderstandings. It is essential to note that U+32BE does not hold any cultural or linguistic significance outside of its typographical purpose, making it a vital tool for clear communication in digital text across languages and scripts.
