Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺾ has the Unicode code point U+2EBE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2EBE to binary:
00101110 10111110
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+2EBE, commonly known as CJK RADICAL GRASS ONE, plays a significant role in the realm of digital text, particularly in Chinese characters. It is a component of a broader set of radicals used to simplify and categorize Chinese characters for ease of learning and usage. The radical system aids in the understanding and organization of the complex character system by breaking it down into smaller, recognizable parts. Each radical has its specific meaning or function within the context of a character, and CJK RADICAL GRASS ONE is one such radical that represents grass or vegetation. This character radical can be found in many Chinese characters, including those that signify plants, farming, or nature-related concepts. Its usage extends beyond just Chinese text as it also appears in Japanese and Korean languages due to their shared roots with the Chinese script. The CJK RADICAL GRASS ONE contributes to the rich cultural heritage of these East Asian languages and plays a vital role in digital typography by maintaining the accuracy and authenticity of these scripts in modern computing systems.
