Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㋌ has the Unicode code point U+32CC. 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+32CC to binary:
00110010 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+32CC, also known as the Square HG, serves a critical function in digital typography and text encoding. Its primary role is to represent an abstract geometric shape in various text systems and applications that utilize Unicode for encoding. The Square HG symbol is often used to illustrate specific mathematical concepts or to denote certain elements within programming languages. Given its universal applicability across different platforms, the Square HG has become a go-to character for developers and designers working with typography. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the Square HG holds no particular significance, being more of an abstract and functional symbol rather than one steeped in tradition or culture. As part of Unicode, it adheres to a comprehensive standard that enables accurate and consistent encoding across different languages and platforms. Thus, U+32CC plays a vital yet understated role within the realm of digital text, ensuring clarity and efficiency in communication across diverse applications and systems.
