Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈤ has the Unicode code point U+3224. 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+3224 to binary:
00110010 00100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+3224, referred to as "PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH FIVE", is a unique typographical symbol predominantly used in digital text for its distinctive representation of the number five enclosed within parentheses. It serves to accentuate the importance or uniqueness of the numeral, often employed in East Asian typography and linguistic contexts where it may be used in various writing systems such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The character is particularly useful in digital communication and text editing, where it adds an aesthetic touch or helps convey the intended emphasis more effectively than a simple numeral. However, its usage is relatively limited compared to other Unicode characters due to its specific cultural relevance and linguistic context.
