Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆓ has the Unicode code point U+3193. 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+3193 to binary:
00110001 10010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+3193 is an IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION TWO MARK, a character in the Unicode Standard that serves as an annotation mark in Japanese typography. Its primary role is to provide guidance for text layout and formatting, ensuring the correct placement of characters within digital text. It is commonly used in conjunction with other ideographic annotation marks (U+3190 through U+319F) to facilitate the proper arrangement and spacing of Kanji characters in various typesetting applications. While U+3193 may not directly contribute to the meaning or content of a text, it plays a critical role in maintaining the visual integrity and readability of Japanese digital texts. In certain cases, it can also be employed as an artistic or decorative element, adding subtle nuance to typographic design. The IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION TWO MARK reflects the cultural importance placed on precision and aesthetic balance in Japanese typography. Its inclusion within the Unicode Standard demonstrates a commitment to accommodating diverse linguistic and cultural needs in digital communication, fostering greater global understanding and inclusivity.
