Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻆ has the Unicode code point U+2EC6. 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+2EC6 to binary:
00101110 11000110. 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 10111011 10000110

Description
U+2EC6, or CJK RADICAL SIMPLIFIED HORN, is a rarely used character in Unicode's CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) extension range. It serves as a radical component in the Wade-Giles Romanization system, specifically for the Chinese characters that include the Simplified Horn radical. The radical simplified horn represents a basic component of these characters, which is typically a stylized version of a specific element or symbol within the character. In digital text, U+2EC6 may appear in conjunction with other CJK characters to form a complete Chinese character in applications that support Wade-Giles Romanization. However, its usage is limited due to the widespread adoption of Pinyin, another system for romanizing Chinese text, which is based on the Hanyu Pinyin phonetic alphabet and uses Latin script characters. Despite its rarity in contemporary digital texts, U+2EC6 holds significance as a part of the rich history and evolution of the Chinese writing system. The character's inclusion in Unicode's CJK extension range reflects the extensive efforts to preserve and document the diversity of traditional Chinese script elements for future generations.
