Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻈ has the Unicode code point U+2EC8. 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+2EC8 to binary:
00101110 11001000. 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 10001000

Description
U+2EC8 is a specialized Unicode character known as the CJK Radical C-Simplified Speech. Its primary role in digital text is to represent a specific radical or radical stroke used in Chinese characters. This character, originating from the Chinese language, has been incorporated into the Unicode standard to ensure accurate and consistent representation of traditional Chinese characters across various digital platforms and applications. The use of U+2EC8 can be beneficial for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when displaying or processing text in Chinese. It is important to note that this character may not be widely recognized or used outside of specialized contexts related to the study or creation of traditional Chinese characters, making it a niche element within the broader Unicode system.
