Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿶ has the Unicode code point U+2FF6. 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+2FF6 to binary:
00101111 11110110. 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:
11100010 10111111 10110110

Description
U+2FF6, also known as the IDEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION CHARACTER SURROUND FROM BELOW, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent an ideographic description or notation that surrounds text from below. It plays a significant role in Japanese typography and text layout systems, where it is commonly employed to indicate the surrounding or encircling of characters in certain writing styles, such as cursive scripts. This character helps preserve the integrity of the original text by ensuring accurate representation of the intended visual appearance when using digital devices or software applications that may not support the full range of traditional Japanese typography features. By incorporating U+2FF6 in digital text, creators and editors can maintain fidelity to the cultural and linguistic nuances inherent in certain styles of Japanese writing.
