Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺂ has the Unicode code point U+2E82. 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+2E82 to binary:
00101110 10000010
. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2E82 is known as CJK RADICAL SECOND ONE. It plays a crucial role in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character sets, which are widely used in digital text across these three languages. This radical is utilized to denote the second stroke in certain traditional Chinese characters, specifically those that have two or more strokes. Its primary function is to help construct complex characters by visually illustrating their components and showing the positioning of these components within the character. The CJK RADICAL SECOND ONE is essential for maintaining the cultural integrity of traditional Chinese texts in digital formats, as it ensures accurate representation and understanding of these intricate characters.
