Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻙ has the Unicode code point U+2ED9. 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+2ED9 to binary:
00101110 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2ED9, CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED TANNED LEATHER, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Chinese language. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unicode range, this character is crucial for accurately representing traditional Chinese characters in various applications such as word processors, web browsers, and operating systems. Its cultural significance lies in its contribution to the evolution of written Chinese language, where radicals have been a fundamental component since ancient times. The C-Simplified Tanned Leather radical (草旱) is a part of many characters that denote "grass" or "plant". It provides context for understanding the meaning and usage of these characters in written form. Despite its technical importance, the CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED TANNED LEATHER character remains underrepresented in modern digital texts, which necessitates continued efforts to promote and preserve traditional Chinese language in the digital sphere.
