Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉘ has the Unicode code point U+3258. 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+3258 to binary:
00110010 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+3258, known as the Circled Number Twenty Eight, is a symbol that represents the numeral 28 enclosed in a circular shape. Its primary role in digital text is to provide an alternative representation of the number 28, often used for clarity or emphasis in certain contexts, such as in mathematical equations, computer programming, and scientific notations. The character can also be found in various typographical designs and numbering systems that use circular figures. While U+3258 may seem like a niche character, its versatility and visual distinction make it a valuable asset for designers and developers who wish to add a unique touch to their work.
