Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺼ has the Unicode code point U+2EBC. 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+2EBC to binary:
00101110 10111100
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+2EBC, known as CJK RADICAL MEAT, is a specialized typographic element used primarily within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unicode block, it serves a crucial role in digital text, assisting with the accurate representation of traditional characters and their components. This character is specifically designated as a "radical," which refers to the fundamental building blocks that comprise a more complex Chinese character. In this context, the CJK RADICAL MEAT represents a radical with a semantic meaning related to "meat" or "flesh." Its use in digital text helps preserve the integrity of traditional characters while facilitating efficient communication and understanding across linguistic and cultural borders.
