Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺨ has the Unicode code point U+2EA8. 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+2EA8 to binary:
00101110 10101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2EA8, known as "CJK RADICAL DOG," is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its typical usage lies within the context of character composition in these languages, particularly in traditional Chinese characters. As a radical or component character, U+2EA8 forms part of larger characters, contributing its inherent meaning and visual structure to the overall formation. In this capacity, it plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency and coherence in written texts. The CJK RADICAL DOG, despite its name resembling a dog in English, holds no direct cultural or linguistic connections to dogs within these language families. Instead, it is an abstract character symbol that has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese writing systems. Its presence in digital text reflects the significance of preserving and representing historical aspects of these languages while also facilitating accurate text processing and manipulation in modern computing environments.
