Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺵ has the Unicode code point U+2EB5. 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+2EB5 to binary:
00101110 10110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB5, also known as CJK RADICAL MESH, primarily serves a typographical function within the vast realm of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. Its role is integral in digital text representation, where it aids in distinguishing and categorizing radicals – fundamental elements that compose characters in these writing systems. Although its usage may appear arcane to those unfamiliar with CJK languages, U+2EB5 plays an essential part in facilitating the accurate interpretation of the myriad of characters within these scripts. It is noteworthy that the significance of this character extends beyond linguistic contexts; it also holds a position in the broader technical realm of Unicode, which strives to provide a unique code point for every distinct character across all languages and scripts worldwide.
