Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺶ has the Unicode code point U+2EB6. 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+2EB6 to binary:
00101110 10110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2EB6, known as CJK RADICAL SHEEP, is a specific radical symbol utilized in Chinese characters. In the realm of digital text, it primarily serves as a crucial component in forming certain compound characters. This unique character's role stems from the ancient practice of using radicals to categorize and simplify complex Chinese characters. Although often overlooked in today's digital world, these radicals played a critical part in teaching and understanding the intricate structure of Chinese characters. CJK RADICAL SHEEP is one of over 214 recognized radicals used in the Chinese script, each with its distinct meaning and usage. While U+2EB6 may not be as widely recognized or utilized in modern digital text as it was historically, it remains an important piece of typographic history that continues to play a role in the understanding and representation of the Chinese language.
