Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺗ has the Unicode code point U+2E97. 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+2E97 to binary:
00101110 10010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2E97, CJK RADICAL HEART TWO, is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages for linguistic or cultural purposes. In digital text, it serves as a crucial component of the traditional Chinese script, acting as an essential radical, which is a basic building block of Chinese characters. U+2E97 specifically represents the "Two" heart radical, often used in characters denoting "eyes," "to see," or "to watch." Its significance lies in its role as a visual reference for readers familiar with traditional Chinese characters, facilitating comprehension and preserving cultural heritage. Despite being less common in modern digital text compared to its simplified counterparts, U+2E97 holds value in academic, historical, and linguistic contexts, ensuring the continued relevance of CJK typography.
