Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋃ has the Unicode code point U+32C3. 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+32C3 to binary:
00110010 11000011. 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 10001011 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+32C3, IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR APRIL, is a specific type of punctuation used predominantly in Japanese telegraphy and communication systems. It is part of the JIS X 0213:2000 standard for Japanese telegraphic symbols. This character is mainly used to convey information about the month of April within telegrams, messages, or communications where space or clarity is limited, such as in telegraphy and Morse code systems. Due to its specific usage and context in digital text communication, U+32C3 has become a less common symbol in modern digital texts, but it remains an essential part of the telegraphic language used in Japan.
