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

Description
The Unicode character U+2EBB, also known as CJK RADICAL BRUSH TWO, primarily serves a role in digital text for representing the radical brush two symbol in Chinese characters. This symbol, which is part of the larger set of Kangxi radicals used in traditional Chinese literature and lexicography, comprises two strokes arranged in a specific configuration. The character is commonly utilized in the context of character classification and composition in Chinese language studies, as well as in dictionaries and glossaries. In the realm of digital typography, U+2EBB is vital for maintaining accuracy and authenticity when rendering traditional Chinese texts on electronic devices or software that supports Unicode input. Although its use may be less prevalent in modern computing systems due to the growing popularity of simplified Chinese characters, U+2EBB remains an essential symbol for those working with classical literature, historical documents, or other resources that rely on traditional Chinese script.
