Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺤ has the Unicode code point U+2EA4. 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+2EA4 to binary:
00101110 10100100
. 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 10100100

Description
U+2EA4, also known as CJK RADICAL PAW ONE, is a typographical character primarily used in digital texts within the context of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. This character holds significant importance in these language systems due to its role as a radical or component used in constructing compound characters. By serving as a fundamental building block, CJK RADICAL PAW ONE contributes to the vast array of characters that make up these complex writing systems. The character is widely recognized for its use in traditional Chinese characters and can be found in many fonts and digital text applications designed to support CJK languages. As an essential component of the CJK language system, U+2EA4 plays a vital role in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating communication across these cultures.
