Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈵ has the Unicode code point U+3235. 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+3235 to binary:
00110010 00110101. 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 10110101

Description
U+3235 is a special character in Unicode known as PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH SPECIAL. This character is primarily used in digital text to enclose certain Chinese ideograms within parentheses, similar to the use of standard parenthesis (i.e., '(' and ')') in English texts. It's worth noting that this character does not alter the meaning or value of the enclosed ideogram; it merely serves an aesthetic or formatting purpose, offering a way to differentiate specific Chinese characters within the text or to emphasize certain aspects of the content. In terms of its cultural, linguistic, and technical context, U+3235 is most commonly found in texts dealing with Chinese typography, particularly in those that require a high level of precision and clarity in displaying or differentiating specific characters. While this character may not be as universally recognized as standard parentheses or other common Unicode symbols, it remains an important tool for those working with the Chinese language and its nuanced subtleties.
