Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺉ has the Unicode code point U+2E89. 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+2E89 to binary:
00101110 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+2E89 is a Unicode character that represents the CJK Radical Knife Two (〧). In digital texts, it serves as an elemental radical in Chinese characters and is used to denote a specific semantic or phonological aspect of the character. It is derived from the traditional Chinese character 刀, which means knife. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, U+2E89 is primarily used for encoding characters in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other CJK languages. This character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical value due to its historical usage and role in the composition of complex Chinese characters. It contributes to the accurate representation and understanding of these characters in digital environments and helps maintain linguistic integrity across various platforms and devices.
