Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻀ has the Unicode code point U+2EC0. 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+2EC0 to binary:
00101110 11000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2EC0 represents the "CJK Radical Grass Three" (冖) in digital text. This radical is primarily used within the Chinese script to signify a specific semantic or phonetic component of a word, aiding in the understanding and composition of characters. In particular, it carries the meaning of grass or herb and is part of the larger group of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) radicals that form the basis for many characters in these languages. U+2EC0 is essential for accurate digital representation of traditional Chinese text, facilitating readability and comprehension across various platforms and applications. Its role in preserving cultural heritage and linguistic integrity highlights the importance of Unicode standardization in modern computing.
