Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻤ has the Unicode code point U+2EE4. 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+2EE4 to binary:
00101110 11100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2EE4 represents the "CJK RADICAL GHOST" in digital text. This specific radical is a constituent component of some traditional Chinese characters and is primarily used in typography for these purposes. It holds no phonetic value but helps to convey meaning in conjunction with other radicals or characters. The CJK (China, Japan, Korea) RADICAL GHOST is a technical symbol that can be found in various Unicode block ranges related to Chinese characters and is often used to signify the concept of "ghost" or "spirit" in ancient texts. Although its usage may not be widespread in modern digital text, it remains an important element for scholars studying ancient Chinese language and typography.
