Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻢ has the Unicode code point U+2EE2. 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+2EE2 to binary:
00101110 11100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+2EE2, also known as CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED HORSE, is a specialized Unicode character predominantly used in digital text for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) typography. This character holds significant importance within the realm of traditional Chinese characters, where it serves as a radical component in the composition of various complex characters. The C-Simplified Horse Radical represents a simplified version of the original horse radical, denoted by U+203D8 (CJK RADICAL HORSE). This simplification was introduced to facilitate easier recognition and interpretation for modern readers, thereby streamlining the process of learning and writing traditional Chinese characters. The C-Simplified Horse Radical is primarily found in dictionaries, character reference materials, and educational tools, where it aids in the classification and understanding of various complex characters associated with the horse radical. By highlighting the shared semantic or phonetic components among different characters, U+2EE2 contributes to the preservation and promotion of CJK linguistic heritage and typography.
