Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈬ has the Unicode code point U+322C. 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+322C to binary:
00110010 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+322C, known as PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH WATER, serves a specific role in digital text representation. As part of the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) X 0213:2000, it is utilized to represent a unique ideogram associated with water in certain contexts. While its use may seem limited, it plays an important role in maintaining cultural and linguistic accuracy within digital texts that require precise representation of traditional characters from the Japanese script. The character's inclusion in Unicode reflects a broader trend towards comprehensive and accurate text encoding, which is essential for preserving cultural heritage and facilitating cross-language communication in our increasingly globalized world.
