Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻔ has the Unicode code point U+2ED4. 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+2ED4 to binary:
00101110 11010100
. 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 10010100

Description
U+2ED4 is a character from the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block of the Unicode Standard. Specifically, it represents the CJK Radical "C-Simplified Gate" in digital text. This radical, originating from the ancient Chinese script, was historically used as a component in complex characters and served a structural role in forming those characters. In modern typography, U+2ED4 is utilized for educational purposes and to provide insight into the etymological composition of Chinese characters. However, it is not commonly employed in everyday text due to its complexity and limited usage in contemporary Chinese language. The character represents a simplified gate or door, typically associated with concepts of passage, transition, and entry.
