Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺙ has the Unicode code point U+2E99. 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+2E99 to binary:
00101110 10011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2E99, known as CJK RADICAL RAP, plays a significant role in digital text within the realm of Chinese characters. It is part of the Extended CJK Unified Ideographs set and is primarily used to represent the radical "rap" or "pigeon" in traditional Chinese character composition. This radical is crucial in understanding the etymology and meaning of complex Chinese characters, as it denotes a specific semantic element within the character itself. The CJK RADICAL RAP is utilized by typographers, linguists, and learners of Chinese to facilitate the study and interpretation of these intricate characters, contributing to a deeper understanding of the rich cultural and historical context that accompanies them.
