Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻘ has the Unicode code point U+2ED8. 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+2ED8 to binary:
00101110 11011000. 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 10111011 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2ED8, known as CJK RADICAL BLUE, holds a significant position in digital typography, particularly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. This character is a radical symbol used in traditional Chinese characters. It represents the concept of 'blue' and is often employed as a semantic or phonetic indicator in complex characters. In the context of CJK radicals, U+2ED8 plays a crucial role, as it assists readers in understanding the meaning and pronunciation of characters. Moreover, it provides valuable information for those learning these writing systems, facilitating the process of character recognition and memorization. However, it is important to note that with the growing use of simplified characters in modern digital texts and the development of electronic devices that prioritize simplified forms, the usage of CJK radicals like U+2ED8 may be gradually declining.
