Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻑ has the Unicode code point U+2ED1. 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+2ED1 to binary:
00101110 11010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2ED1, known as CJK RADICAL LONG ONE, primarily serves as a radical symbol in the Chinese character set. In digital text, this character often appears as a component of more complex characters or phrases. Its role is vital for preserving the accurate meaning and context of the original characters when rendered in digital formats. The CJK RADICAL LONG ONE is an essential part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script set and holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. As a radical symbol, it helps form a structured foundation for building characters, aiding in readability and comprehension. The usage of U+2ED1 ensures the continuity of the rich history and tradition of CJK writing systems while enabling effective communication in the digital age.
