Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺍ has the Unicode code point U+2E8D. 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+2E8D to binary:
00101110 10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The character U+2E8D, CJK RADICAL SMALL TWO, is a specialized typographical element used primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) digital text. Its main role is to denote the size of a character radical, which is a semantic or phonological unit in these languages' scripts. This radical is then further divided into smaller components to form complete characters. While the CJK RADICAL SMALL TWO appears infrequently in modern digital text due to its specialized nature, it remains an important tool for those studying or working with CJK scripts, particularly in traditional character analysis and calligraphy.
