Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻛ has the Unicode code point U+2EDB. 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+2EDB to binary:
00101110 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+2EDB is a less commonly used Unicode character that represents the "CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED WIND" in the context of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean typography. Its primary role in digital text is to serve as an element within radicals, which are simplified forms of characters that help in understanding their meaning or pronunciation. These radicals are a crucial aspect of CJK languages, as they aid in the classification and composition of complex characters. In the realm of typography, U+2EDB is predominantly used in traditional Chinese dictionaries, reference materials, and educational resources that teach calligraphy or character composition. It does not play a significant role in modern digital communication or text processing due to its complexity and infrequent usage. Nonetheless, it remains an important component of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances within CJK languages.
