Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉃ has the Unicode code point U+3243. 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+3243 to binary:
00110010 01000011. 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 10001001 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+3243 is the PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH REACH ( Parenthesized Ideograph Reach ), which plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in East Asian typography and scripting. It represents an ideographic unit that is enclosed within parentheses to indicate its structure or position in a sentence or phrase. The Parenthesized IDEOGRAPH REACH symbol serves as an essential tool for readers and writers of languages that use complex characters, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. This character is not only utilized for visual clarity but also to differentiate between similar ideograms in a text, making it easier for users to understand the context and meaning. The Parenthesized IDEOGRAPH REACH has cultural, linguistic, and technical significance, as it helps maintain the accuracy of texts in languages that rely heavily on character-based writing systems. It is an important aspect of Unicode's goal to standardize and simplify digital text processing across different languages and scripts.
