Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺩ has the Unicode code point U+2EA9. 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+2EA9 to binary:
00101110 10101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2EA9, also known as CJK RADICAL JADE, is an essential element within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character set used in digital text. This specific radical, or component, serves a vital role in constructing complex Chinese characters by combining with other simpler components to form a complete, meaningful character. CJK RADICAL JADE specifically represents the base or root of specific compound characters, often denoting the idea of "ancestry" or "origin." Due to its critical function within traditional Chinese script and its contribution to linguistic complexity, the CJK RADICAL JADE holds a significant position in digital typography and cultural expression. Its proper usage is essential for accurate translation, preservation of language integrity, and facilitating readability in both native and non-native audiences.
