Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻗ has the Unicode code point U+2ED7. 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+2ED7 to binary:
00101110 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2ED7, also known as CJK RADICAL RAIN, is a specialized typographic element primarily used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. This particular character plays a crucial role in the construction of compound ideograms, specifically in conveying the concept of water or rainfall. In digital text, U+2ED7 serves as a radical, which is an essential component of certain Chinese characters. A radical is a basic unit or sub-character that forms part of a larger character, and its meaning contributes to the overall semantics of the compound ideogram. The usage of CJK RADICAL RAIN allows for more efficient communication in CJK languages by condensing multiple symbols into one comprehensive character. While this radical may seem obscure or niche, it holds significant importance within the intricate system of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, as each character carries a wealth of meaning, history, and cultural context.
