Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻣ has the Unicode code point U+2EE3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2EE3 to binary:
00101110 11100011
. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+2EE3, also known as "CJK RADICAL BONE," is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its primary function is to denote radicals in the Wenlin system of character decomposition, a method used for analyzing complex characters into their constituent parts or radicals. In this context, the CJK RADICAL BONE serves as an indicator for identifying the bone-shaped radical within a given character. By understanding the structure and composition of characters through this decomposition process, users can more easily look up the meaning, pronunciation, and usage of individual elements within a complex character. The CJK RADICAL BONE holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in the realm of CJK digital text, as it facilitates efficient and accurate communication by allowing users to dissect and recombine characters according to their understanding.
