Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺀ has the Unicode code point U+2E80. 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+2E80 to binary:
00101110 10000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2E80, known as the CJK Radical Repeat, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text within Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its primary role is to denote a repetitive pattern or structure in a character or word, often in the context of radicals, which are fundamental components of these writing systems. The CJK Radical Repeat is part of the Unicode Standard, specifically within the "CJK Extensions A" block, and contributes to the richness and diversity of written expression in these languages. While this character may not be as commonly used as others in daily communication, it plays a significant role in linguistic analysis and the understanding of the etymology of CJK characters.
