Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺧ has the Unicode code point U+2EA7. 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+2EA7 to binary:
00101110 10100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2EA7, known as CJK RADICAL COW, plays a vital role in digital text, specifically within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. It is part of the CJK Radicals Supplement block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2015 to provide support for classical Chinese characters and their radicals. The CJK RADICAL COW character serves as a semantic indicator, helping users and scholars decode and understand complex Chinese characters by identifying their components or "radicals." These radicals are the building blocks of Chinese characters, and they often carry their own meaning, making them useful for classification and searching purposes in dictionaries and databases. As such, U+2EA7 CJK RADICAL COW is an essential tool for those working with classical or traditional Chinese texts, as it helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of this ancient writing system in digital contexts.
