Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈲ has the Unicode code point U+3232. 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+3232 to binary:
00110010 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+3232 is a unique Unicode character known as the PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH HAVE. This character serves a specific role in digital text by representing an ideogram within parentheses, often used to indicate missing or omitted elements in a sequence. It is most commonly seen in Japanese typography and is derived from the Kanji script. Its primary usage lies in the context of computer programming, particularly in languages that utilize Unicode for text input and output, such as Python, JavaScript, and Java. In these programming environments, U+3232 aids developers in conveying complex linguistic concepts or instructions while adhering to established typographical conventions. By employing this character, programmers can ensure clarity, accuracy, and efficiency in their coding.
