Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺸ has the Unicode code point U+2EB8. 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+2EB8 to binary:
00101110 10111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB8, known as CJK RADICAL EWE, holds a significant role in the realm of digital typography, particularly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. This specific radical is used to denote the semantic component of a character, often representing an animal or mythical creature. In digital text, CJK RADICAL EWE is commonly employed as part of a larger character when using Unicode's Compatibility Composition, facilitating compatibility and interoperability across different platforms and devices. The character possesses considerable cultural importance in East Asian literature, as it provides context and meaning to the composite characters it forms. CJK RADICAL EWE is an essential element in maintaining linguistic accuracy and coherence in digital text, preserving the rich heritage of the CJK writing systems for future generations.
