Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺹ has the Unicode code point U+2EB9. 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+2EB9 to binary:
00101110 10111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB9, known as the CJK Radical Old, serves a crucial role in the realm of digital text for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its primary function is to represent an ancient radical or component used in traditional Chinese characters. These radicals are building blocks that help simplify character recognition and learning. U+2EB9 specifically represents the "囗" radical, which is made up of three horizontal lines with a vertical line on the left side. This radical often appears in the composition of characters related to enclosure or encircling, such as 圈 (qiáng), meaning circle or ring. The CJK Radical Old character U+2EB9 is significant for maintaining cultural and linguistic continuity, as it helps preserve the traditional forms of these radicals that may have been lost in modern digital representations.
