Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈩ has the Unicode code point U+3229. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3229 to binary:
00110010 00101001
. 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 10101001

Description
U+3229 is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically referred to as "PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH TEN". This character plays an essential role in digital text by representing the decimal numeral ten within parentheses. It's often used in mathematical expressions or any scenario where precise representation of numbers is necessary. The character may also serve as a reference to the Eastern concept of "Ten Thousand", which symbolizes perfection, or completion, in many Asian cultures. In a linguistic context, it can appear in languages that utilize Unicode, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and others. It is important to note that U+3229 is not just a random character; its usage is grounded in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. Therefore, while appearing similar to the standard numeral for ten, it has its unique role in digital text processing, serving as a distinct symbol representing "Ten" in specific applications where Unicode characters are utilized.
