Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺠ has the Unicode code point U+2EA0. 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+2EA0 to binary:
00101110 10100000
. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2EA0, known as the CJK RADICAL CIVILIAN, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. It is used to represent a radical in traditional Chinese characters, which are often utilized in these languages. A radical is a component or stroke in a character that carries a semantic or phonetic significance. In the context of CJK languages, this character helps users understand and interpret the meaning and pronunciation of complex characters by breaking them down into their constituent parts. This contributes to the accuracy and efficiency of communication in these linguistic domains. Despite its specialized usage within certain language groups, U+2EA0 remains an important element in preserving and promoting CJK typography and digital text understanding across different platforms and devices.
