Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻟ has the Unicode code point U+2EDF. 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+2EDF to binary:
00101110 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+2EDF, or CJK RADICAL EAT THREE, is a unique symbol primarily used within the context of Chinese characters. In digital text, this radical serves as an element in compound characters to indicate the consumption of food by a living being. Specifically, it represents "eat" or "consume," which helps define the meaning and usage of the entire character. The CJK RADICAL EAT THREE is part of a larger group of radicals that serve as visual cues for understanding the semantic composition of Chinese characters. By combining these radicals, more complex meanings can be derived. As a critical component in many compound characters, U+2EDF plays an essential role in written communication and the accurate representation of ideas in Chinese typography.
