Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻝ has the Unicode code point U+2EDD. 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+2EDD to binary:
00101110 11011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2EDD represents the "CJK Radical Eat One" (〇) in digital text. In Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, radicals are fundamental components of characters that provide information on pronunciation and meaning. CJK Radical Eat One is a specific radical used in these scripts, denoting the idea or concept of consuming or eating food. It is primarily employed in the context of character composition where it provides semantic and phonetic information for constructing new characters. While this particular radical may not be widely recognized in the West due to its specialized role in CJK languages, its significance within these scripts is evident as a crucial building block for creating meaningful words and phrases.
