Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈫ has the Unicode code point U+322B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+322B to binary:
00110010 00101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+322B, also known as PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH FIRE, is a unique character in the Unicode standard designed to represent the concept of fire within parentheses. While many ideograms are incorporated into digital text for their cultural and linguistic significance, U+322B holds an unusual role as it serves both a visual and a structural purpose. It is used primarily in Japanese text, and in certain contexts, can be utilized to emphasize or visually group related elements. Its use is typically limited due to its specialized nature, but when employed, it contributes to the overall aesthetics and readability of the digital text. In terms of technical specifications, U+322B adheres to Unicode standards, ensuring compatibility across various devices and platforms, while maintaining accuracy in its representation of fire within parentheses.
