Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉚ has the Unicode code point U+325A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+325A to binary:
00110010 01011010
. 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 10011010
CIRCLED NUMBER THIRTY·U+325A

Description
The Unicode character U+325A is a typographical representation known as "CIRCLED NUMBER THIRTY" (〳). It is part of the Extended Hiragana group within the Unicode Standard, specifically in the range U+3200 to U+325F. In digital text and typography, this character is typically used in Japanese language environments, particularly for representing the numeral '30' with a unique style, often seen in decorative or artistic contexts. The CIRCLED NUMBER THIRTY character adds visual appeal to written content by deviating from the standard Hiragana form of the digits. While it may be less common in everyday language use, its presence in digital text highlights the versatility and richness of the Japanese writing system, offering an alternative numeral representation that can enhance visual impact or convey a specific aesthetic.
