Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺋ has the Unicode code point U+2E8B. 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+2E8B to binary:
00101110 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E8B, known as the CJK RADICAL SEAL, is a specialized typographic symbol predominantly used in digital text within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language family. Its primary role is to serve as an indicator for compound ideographs or radicals in traditional Chinese characters, specifically those associated with seals. The CJK RADICAL SEAL character helps to disambiguate certain characters that may have multiple meanings or interpretations when used independently. This symbol is critical for maintaining accuracy and clarity in written communication within these languages, as it assists in distinguishing between homographs or characters with the same visual form but different meanings. By facilitating this distinction, the CJK RADICAL SEAL contributes to the richness and nuance of the CJK writing systems, enabling precise expression and understanding among literate speakers.
