Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℴ has the Unicode code point U+2134. 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+2134 to binary:
00100001 00110100. 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 10000100 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2134 represents the "Script Small O" (SCRIPT SMALL O) in digital text. This character is primarily used in typography to denote a cursive, script-style version of the uppercase letter 'O.' Its usage is common in typesetting for historical texts and documents that require a calligraphic or handwritten appearance. Although not widely used in everyday text, it plays an important role in preserving the integrity of cultural and linguistic nuances in specific contexts such as ancient manuscripts, medieval literature, and archival records. The SCRIPT SMALL O is part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistent encoding, rendering, and interpretation across various platforms, applications, and devices, contributing to the accuracy and preservation of typographic integrity in digital text.
