Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺲ has the Unicode code point U+2EB2. 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+2EB2 to binary:
00101110 10110010
. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB2, known as CJK RADICAL NET TWO, is a specialized typographic element commonly employed in digital text, particularly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language systems. It serves a unique role in representing components of compound characters, functioning as a radical or semantic building block for other logograms. Specifically, the CJK RADICAL NET TWO character symbolizes a combination of two horizontal lines, which represents a specific configuration within the broader context of traditional Chinese calligraphy and character composition. This typographical element contributes to the richness and complexity of written expression in these languages, facilitating the creation of diverse and nuanced meanings. In summary, U+2EB2 (CJK RADICAL NET TWO) is a crucial building block in digital CJK text, demonstrating the significance of radicals within traditional character formation and showcasing the intricate nature of these languages.
