Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈼ has the Unicode code point U+323C. 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+323C to binary:
00110010 00111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+323C is a character in the Unicode standard that represents "PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH SUPERVISE". This particular character is used to indicate supervision or oversight in a text. In digital text, it's often employed within parentheses to provide additional context or clarification about an ideogram or character, acting as an editorial control or correction marker. It has no fixed visual representation and doesn't change the appearance of the surrounding text, but rather provides guidance for those reading or editing the document. U+323C is not commonly used outside of specific technical documents and can be seen in contexts like linguistic studies, digital typography, or computer programming. It plays a minor yet crucial role in ensuring accurate interpretation and translation of text across different languages and platforms that utilize Unicode standards.
