Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈮ has the Unicode code point U+322E. 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+322E to binary:
00110010 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+322E, known as the Parenthesized Ideograph Metal, is a specialized typographical symbol primarily used in Japanese digital text. In its typical usage, it serves to embed an ideographic symbol from a different script or encoding system directly into the text, facilitating the display of characters that might not be natively supported by the current font being utilized. This is particularly useful when creating bilingual texts or translations where maintaining the visual appearance of original-language symbols is crucial for clarity and accuracy. Although it's a less commonly used character in digital communication, its significance lies in its ability to bridge language barriers and ensure proper representation of text across varying scripts and encodings, thus contributing to the richness and diversity of global digital communications.
