Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻯ has the Unicode code point U+2EEF. 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+2EEF to binary:
00101110 11101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+2EEF, also known as CJK RADICAL J-SIMPLIFIED DRAGON, is a character in Unicode used primarily within digital text to represent a simplified dragon radical in Chinese characters. This radical symbol, which consists of three vertical lines with a horizontal line connecting the middle two lines at an upward angle, is derived from the traditional Chinese dragon radical (U+2003), which features a more complex depiction of a dragon. In modern typography and digital text representation, U+2EEF serves as a streamlined and simplified version of its predecessor, making it easier to recognize and use in various applications. The CJK RADICAL J-SIMPLIFIED DRAGON character plays an important role in the study and classification of Chinese characters, as it helps users identify the meaning or semantic aspects of characters containing this radical. The radical serves as a building block for thousands of characters, and its usage allows for more efficient searching, sorting, and understanding of complex Chinese text. Furthermore, the simplified dragon radical is widely adopted in digital platforms, such as word processors, search engines, and e-readers, to ensure consistency and readability across different devices and fonts.
