Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈻ has the Unicode code point U+323B. 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+323B to binary:
00110010 00111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+323B, the Parenthesized Ideograph Study character, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the context of East Asian typography. This Unicode character is used to represent an enclosed CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideogram with parentheses, providing a visual cue for users reading or editing text. Its primary function is to facilitate the process of reviewing and revising written material in these languages by encapsulating the ideograph within round brackets. This allows readers to easily differentiate between the main body of text and the parenthetical content, improving readability and comprehension. U+323B is particularly useful when working with typesetting software or digital documents that require precise formatting of CJK characters. Overall, this character contributes to the accuracy and efficiency of digital text production in East Asian languages.
