Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻊ has the Unicode code point U+2ECA. 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+2ECA to binary:
00101110 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+2ECA, known as CJK RADICAL FOOT, plays a significant role in the world of digital typography, particularly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. It is used to represent the concept of "foot" or "leg" in the context of these scripts. U+2ECA falls under the category of "Radical Marks" or "Boshu", which are used as reference points within a character's composition, helping users and typographers understand the structure and meaning of complex CJK characters. The usage of this character can be traced back to ancient times in China, where it was employed in the writing system known as "Semi-Oracle Bone Script" or "Yinxue". In the modern era, U+2ECA continues to be a vital component of digital text in CJK languages, allowing users and software applications to accurately render and interpret complex characters.
