Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆘ has the Unicode code point U+3198. 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+3198 to binary:
00110001 10011000. 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 10000110 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+3198, also known as the Ideographic Annotation Bottom Mark, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text. It serves to indicate a specific sectional division or point of emphasis within a text, particularly in Chinese language materials. This mark holds significant cultural and linguistic relevance as it is a part of the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension D block of characters, which encompasses additional symbols used in various East Asian languages. While this character does not have a direct counterpart in other writing systems, it demonstrates the versatility and complexity of typographic elements found within the Chinese script and its related languages. In digital text, the Ideographic Annotation Bottom Mark is often rendered as an abstract symbol or glyph that can be inserted using specialized software or via Unicode input methods. Its usage may vary across different applications and platforms, but it remains a crucial component in preserving the nuances of traditional written communication.
