Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉓ has the Unicode code point U+3253. 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+3253 to binary:
00110010 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+3253 represents the Circled Number Twenty Three (✃). It is commonly utilized in various applications such as mathematics, science, and engineering to denote quantities, indices, or iterations within equations or formulas. In digital text, the use of this symbol aids in reducing ambiguity and ensuring clarity for readers by visually distinguishing it from other characters like the numeral "23". The Circled Number Twenty Three is part of the larger set of circled numbers (U+3248 to U+3257) that include similar representations for numbers one through twenty. These characters offer an alternative visual presentation to their linear counterparts, enabling readers to easily distinguish between a number and its respective symbol in different contexts such as formulas or mathematical expressions.
