Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻅ has the Unicode code point U+2EC5. 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+2EC5 to binary:
00101110 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+2EC5 is a character from the Unicode standard, specifically designated as CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED SEE. This character plays a vital role in digital text, particularly within Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, where it functions as a radical in traditional calligraphy and in the composition of characters in the context of ancient Chinese script. The character represents the simplified form of the "see" radical, which is a common component in numerous CJK characters. This radical typically takes the shape of two legs with a dot at the top or bottom, symbolizing the act of looking or watching. In digital text, U+2EC5 assists in accurately representing traditional Chinese script and preserving its visual aesthetics, as well as facilitating proper character recognition for various applications such as word processing programs, search engines, and input methods.
