Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈥ has the Unicode code point U+3225. 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+3225 to binary:
00110010 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+3225, known as the Parenthesized Ideograph Six, is a specialized typographic character primarily used in East Asian digital text. Its role is to enclose an ideogram within parentheses for various purposes such as emphasis, clarification, or footnoting. The character is widely utilized in languages that use Chinese characters, like Japanese and Korean, as well as in certain academic or technical contexts where specific ideographs are being referenced. It serves a functional purpose in the digital text environment by providing an easy way to visually distinguish the significance of a particular ideogram. Despite its technical nature, the Parenthesized Ideograph Six has no direct cultural or linguistic significance on its own and is simply a useful tool for efficient communication in certain contexts.
