Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺯ has the Unicode code point U+2EAF. 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+2EAF to binary:
00101110 10101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+2EAF, known as CJK RADICAL SILK, is a typographical element used primarily in traditional Chinese writing systems. It serves as a radical indicator to represent the concept of silk in Chinese characters, helping readers and writers understand the semantic meaning behind complex characters. This character plays an important role in digital text processing and typesetting, particularly for those working with classical Chinese literature or language enthusiasts. The CJK RADICAL SILK symbol holds cultural significance as it highlights the importance of silk in ancient China's history and economy, as well as its linguistic importance for distinguishing different meanings of characters containing the same radical.
