Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻥ has the Unicode code point U+2EE5. 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+2EE5 to binary:
00101110 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+2EE5, also known as CJK Radical C-Simplified Fish, is a typographical character primarily used in the Chinese language. It plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the context of the Chinese script. This particular Unicode character represents a simplification of an earlier, more complex fish radical (U+203A) found in traditional Chinese characters. In its simplified form, it is often employed as a component or sub-component in constructing various Chinese characters, contributing to their meaning and pronunciation. The use of U+2EE5 CJK Radical C-Simplified Fish reflects the ongoing process of modernizing and streamlining the Chinese writing system for easier comprehension and usage, while preserving the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances inherent in traditional Chinese characters.
