Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈠ has the Unicode code point U+3220. 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+3220 to binary:
00110010 00100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+3220 is a rare and specialized Unicode character known as the "PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH ONE." This unique symbol plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly within East Asian typography and computer programming. The PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH ONE combines both an ideographic element with parentheses-like structure, serving as a way to set off or emphasize specific sections of a text. This character is often used in programming languages and digital environments that support the Japanese script, where it helps to delineate code blocks or segments for readability and ease of comprehension. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical context, the PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH ONE has become increasingly important as digital communication continues to expand globally, enabling users to express complex concepts with precision and clarity.
