Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻕ has the Unicode code point U+2ED5. 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+2ED5 to binary:
00101110 11010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2ED5, also known as "CJK RADICAL MOUND ONE," is a crucial component in the field of typography and digital text representation. Its primary role lies in serving as a radical or a component of Chinese characters. In the context of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) languages, it often forms part of traditional Chinese characters, which are composed of multiple strokes and radicals that collectively represent a specific meaning. U+2ED5 represents a mound-like shape, hence its name, and when combined with other radicals, it helps create various complex characters in the CJK languages. Although not commonly used in digital texts outside of these language realms, this character plays an essential role in preserving and promoting traditional calligraphy and typography within the CJK linguistic sphere. Overall, U+2ED5 is a vital cog in the wheel of Unicode's efforts to represent diverse languages and scripts accurately and comprehensively.
