Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺽ has the Unicode code point U+2EBD. 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+2EBD to binary:
00101110 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+2EBD, also known as CJK RADICAL MORTAR, holds a significant place in the realm of digital typography, specifically within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language family. This particular glyph is a part of the radicals system used in these languages, which aids in constructing complex characters by combining simpler components known as radicals. The CJK RADICAL MORTAR character represents a mortar, a tool commonly used in traditional East Asian cooking and medicine preparation, symbolizing an essential element of cultural practice. Although its usage is predominantly within the CJK languages, the character's inclusion in Unicode ensures global accessibility and representation across different platforms and software, fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for diverse linguistic traditions.
