Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺃ has the Unicode code point U+2E83. 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+2E83 to binary:
00101110 10000011
. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E83, also known as "CJK RADICAL SECOND TWO," primarily serves as a constituent element in digital text for certain Chinese characters. In this capacity, it is used to represent the second radical of specific traditional Chinese characters, providing important context and information about their meaning. The character often functions as an indicator or marker for more complex characters, helping users to understand their composition and etymology. U+2E83 holds significance in the realm of linguistics and cultural heritage, as it preserves the historical evolution and structure of Chinese script. By incorporating this radical in digital text, we can maintain a strong connection to traditional Chinese language and culture, while also ensuring proper character identification and interpretation for users.
