Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺰ has the Unicode code point U+2EB0. 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+2EB0 to binary:
00101110 10110000. 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 10111010 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB0, known as CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED SILK, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language systems. This typographical symbol is utilized to simplify and streamline complex silk imagery, which is an essential element in these linguistic traditions. As a radical in the traditional Chinese character system, it serves as a building block for various characters that incorporate silk-related concepts, such as 'silk' (絲), 'sericulture' (葭), and 'cocoon' (糎). The use of U+2EB0 reflects a rich cultural history and the influence of silk production in ancient China, where the industry was highly developed and prestigious. Today, its presence in digital text maintains the cultural significance of these traditions while facilitating efficient and effective communication within the CJK languages.
