Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈈ has the Unicode code point U+3208. 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+3208 to binary:
00110010 00001000. 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 10001000 10001000

Description
U+3208, also known as PARENTHESIZED HANGUL CIEUC, is a unique character within the Unicode standard. This typographical symbol plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in Korean language applications. It represents the consonant "ㅊ" or "cieuc," which is one of the 14 consonants in the Hangul script. The Hangul script is the native alphabet used for writing the Korean language and it's known for its efficiency and phonetic simplicity, making U+3208 an essential component in enabling accurate text input and output on digital platforms. In a technical context, U+3208 differentiates between a basic "cieuc" character (U+316C) and a parenthesized version of the same, reflecting nuances in pronunciation or linguistic usage in certain dialects or text styles. This specific symbol contributes to the richness and diversity of Korean language expression online and offline.
