Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻞ has the Unicode code point U+2EDE. 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+2EDE to binary:
00101110 11011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2EDE, designated as CJK RADICAL EAT TWO, holds a significant position in digital text by serving as an essential component in the composition of Chinese characters. Its role is primarily found within the context of the Chinese language, where it functions as a radical or a semantic-phonetic element, contributing to the overall meaning and pronunciation of a character. In terms of linguistic usage, U+2EDE is used to depict a person eating or drinking, providing visual cues for both readers and writers in understanding the context of a character. This character is particularly notable due to its cultural significance in Chinese typography and its influence on the formation of other characters that involve eating or drinking actions. Although it may not be widely recognized beyond linguistic and typographical circles, U+2EDE plays an important role in preserving and promoting the richness of the Chinese language and its written tradition.
