Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㊷ has the Unicode code point U+32B7. 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+32B7 to binary:
00110010 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+32B7 is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard known as "CIRCLED NUMBER FORTY TWO." This digit is commonly employed in digital text to represent the numerical value of forty-two within certain contexts, particularly when emphasizing circular shapes or for use in typographic design. In various cultural and linguistic settings, this character may be incorporated into numeral systems, especially when a circular representation is desired. The U+32B7 character plays a crucial role in digital text formatting, providing versatility to designers, programmers, and writers who require an alternative to the traditional linear representation of numbers. It serves as a testament to the diversity and expressiveness of typography within the Unicode Standard, which aims to accommodate a wide range of characters from different scripts and languages for global communication.
