Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺌ has the Unicode code point U+2E8C. 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+2E8C to binary:
00101110 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+2E8C, known as CJK RADICAL SMALL ONE, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of classical Chinese texts. It is primarily used in conjunction with other radicals to form complex characters, which are fundamental components of the Chinese writing system. These radicals help in distinguishing the meaning and pronunciation of each character, thereby facilitating efficient reading and comprehension. CJK RADICAL SMALL ONE holds significant cultural and linguistic importance as it aids in preserving the richness and complexity of the Chinese language in digital formats. The accurate use of these radicals also ensures that traditional Chinese literature is not lost or distorted in the modern digital world, thereby maintaining the continuity and relevance of ancient texts for future generations.
