Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈳ has the Unicode code point U+3233. 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+3233 to binary:
00110010 00110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+3233 is a unique character in Unicode, known as the Parenthesized Ideograph Society. It primarily serves a typographic purpose and is often employed to represent ancient Chinese characters or ideograms that are enclosed within parentheses. This is particularly useful for academic and historical texts where a clear distinction between different forms of an ideograph is essential. The character also finds its application in digital text as it helps preserve the original context and meaning of these ancient characters, providing more accurate translations and enabling scholars to study them with precision. In linguistic and cultural contexts, U+3233 plays a crucial role in preserving the richness of Chinese culture and history by maintaining the integrity of these valuable symbols.
