Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌀ has the Unicode code point U+2300. 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+2300 to binary:
00100011 00000000. 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 10001100 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2300, known as the DIAMETER SIGN, is a typographical symbol that holds a crucial role in digital text. It represents a unit of measurement used to denote the diameter of an object or a concept. Its application is primarily seen in technical contexts like engineering, design, and scientific documentation where precise dimensions are vital. The character is often employed in fields such as architecture, mechanics, or any discipline that requires quantitative analysis of circular objects. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the DIAMETER SIGN doesn't hold specific significance. However, its accurate usage in digital text ensures clear communication and avoids potential errors in measurements. The character does not have alternate forms or variations and is represented consistently as U+2300 across all Unicode-compliant platforms.
