Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊼ has the Unicode code point U+32BC. 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+32BC to binary:
00110010 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+32BC, also known as CIRCLED NUMBER FORTY SEVEN, is a typographical character primarily used in digital text for representing the number 47 in a circular format. It is a part of the Unicode standard, specifically in the "Miscellaneous Technical" category (block U+2400 to U+24FF). The use of this character often serves to distinguish it from the linear numerals commonly found in Western languages and mathematical contexts. While its usage might seem limited, CIRCLED NUMBER FORTY SEVEN holds significance in various cultures where circular symbols are traditionally used for numeric representation. This typographical element can be found in programming languages, character encodings, and digital text systems that support Unicode, allowing it to play a versatile role across diverse platforms and applications.
