Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺛ has the Unicode code point U+2E9B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2E9B to binary:
00101110 10011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E9B, known as the CJK Radical Choke, is a specialized symbol used predominantly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language systems. In digital text, this glyph serves a vital role in lexicography and linguistic study, particularly in the context of radical-and-stroke analysis of characters. The CJK Radical Choke represents a specific radical or semantic element that can be found within a character's composition. For instance, it may signify the idea of "choke" or "throat" when used in association with certain characters. This intricate symbol adds depth and complexity to the understanding of these language systems, enriching both linguistic and cultural knowledge.
