Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋉ has the Unicode code point U+32C9. 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+32C9 to binary:
00110010 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+32C9 is an IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL representing the month of October. In digital text, this character serves as a unique identifier for the 10th month of the year in languages that use Unicode character encoding, such as Japanese or Chinese. It plays a crucial role in time-sensitive applications and date formats, where the specificity of the month is required. As an IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL, U+32C9 also has cultural significance in the context of telegraphy, as it was historically used to represent messages or information related to the month of October. Today, its usage remains mostly confined to specialized fields such as historical documentation, cryptography, and digital communication systems that utilize these ancient symbols for encoding purposes.
