Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺷ has the Unicode code point U+2EB7. 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+2EB7 to binary:
00101110 10110111
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB7 represents the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) radical "RAM." This character is primarily used in digital text as a component in Chinese characters, particularly in traditional Chinese writing systems. It serves as a semantic and phonetic building block for constructing more complex characters. In the context of CJK characters, radicals are categorized into groups based on their structural similarity, such as the "RAM" group, which includes characters with a right-leaning side stroke as one of their primary components. The CJK radical system helps to simplify and standardize the learning process for learners of Chinese languages by breaking down characters into recognizable parts, facilitating the understanding of their meaning and pronunciation.
