Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈽ has the Unicode code point U+323D. 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+323D to binary:
00110010 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+323D, known as "PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH ENTERPRISE," is a specialized symbol with specific cultural, linguistic, and technical context. Typically used in digital text, this character represents an enterprise or business entity within parentheses. It originates from the traditional Chinese writing system, where it serves as an abbreviation for "company" or "corporation." This character is particularly significant in East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea, where businesses frequently use it to convey their corporate identity and legal status. The Unicode Consortium introduced U+323D to standardize the representation of this symbol across different digital platforms and programming languages, promoting consistency and interoperability for global communication.
