Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻌ has the Unicode code point U+2ECC. 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+2ECC to binary:
00101110 11001100
. 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 10001100

Description
U+2ECC is a unique character in the Unicode standard that represents "CJK Radical Simplified Walk". This character plays a significant role in digital text, specifically in the Chinese language system where it serves as a radical for creating new characters. The radical system helps to break down complex Chinese characters into simpler, more manageable components, facilitating their understanding and usage. It is important to note that U+2ECC does not stand alone; rather, it is combined with other characters to form a complete character or word in the Chinese language. CJK, an abbreviation for "Chinese, Japanese, and Korean", refers to the group of characters used in these languages, and U+2ECC is part of this extensive character set. Although the CJK radical system is more prevalent in Chinese, it also has some influence on the Japanese writing system. Digital text using U+2ECC and other CJK characters are often displayed and handled by specialized fonts and software designed to support these scripts. The use of such digital text has grown rapidly with the increasing globalization and need for cross-cultural communication. In summary, U+2ECC is a vital component in the Chinese character system and contributes significantly to the creation and understanding of complex characters. Its role extends beyond language boundaries, influencing Japanese writing as well. As technology continues to advance, so does the importance of understanding and correctly using these radicals in digital text across various platforms.
