Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋎ has the Unicode code point U+32CE. 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+32CE to binary:
00110010 11001110. 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 10001011 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+32CE represents the "Square EV" (四角EV) symbol, which is predominantly used in Japanese typography and digital text. It is a part of the Kanji for Computer Use supplement (KCUS), which includes characters specifically designed for use on computers and electronic devices. The Square EV symbol is primarily utilized to denote electric vehicle charging points in Japanese digital text, making it an important character for promoting and facilitating the adoption of electric vehicles. This symbol plays a crucial role in Japan's ongoing efforts towards sustainable transportation by providing clear and accurate information about charging stations for electric vehicles.
