Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇀ has the Unicode code point U+31C0. 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+31C0 to binary:
00110001 11000000. 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 10000111 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+31C0 is known as the "CJK STROKE T" (CJK stands for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). This character is primarily used in digital text for marking vertical strokes in CJK scripts, particularly when using a vertical writing mode. In this context, it serves as a visual guide to aid readers in understanding the structure of characters that have been adapted for vertical orientation. U+31C0 does not represent a meaningful symbol or character on its own but plays an essential role in ensuring proper rendering and readability of CJK script text in a vertical layout. It is commonly used in digital typesetting, word processing software, and other tools that support Unicode to ensure accurate representation of CJK scripts when displayed vertically.
