Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻜ has the Unicode code point U+2EDC. 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+2EDC to binary:
00101110 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+2EDC is a typographic character in the Unicode standard that represents the "CJK Radical C-Simplified Fly." This character plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the realm of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. Its primary function is to serve as a radical or component for constructing more complex characters in these languages. The CJK Radical C-Simplified Fly is derived from traditional Chinese characters, where it was used as part of a larger glyph. In modern digital text, this character has been simplified and can be combined with other Unicode characters to form new symbols or words. Its presence contributes to the richness and diversity of CJK script typography, helping preserve cultural heritage while enabling smooth communication among speakers of these languages.
