Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺆ has the Unicode code point U+2E86. 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+2E86 to binary:
00101110 10000110
. 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 10111010 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E86, known as the CJK Radical Box, holds a unique position in the world of typography and digital text. It serves primarily as a component in traditional Chinese characters, specifically in the context of radical-stroke notation. This system divides complex characters into simpler components or strokes that comprise them, which can be further analyzed or studied for educational purposes. By using the CJK Radical Box, users can accurately represent and differentiate these components, contributing to a richer understanding of Chinese script. Furthermore, its usage extends beyond educational contexts, as it is also employed in digital text processing, such as search engines and character databases, where accurate identification and categorization of characters are crucial for efficient operation. Overall, the CJK Radical Box exemplifies the power of Unicode in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication across diverse linguistic landscapes.
