Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺒ has the Unicode code point U+2E92. 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+2E92 to binary:
00101110 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
The character U+2E92, also known as CJK RADICAL SNAKE, is a specialized glyph used primarily within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. It serves as a radical in the composition of Chinese characters, specifically representing the concept of "snake." In traditional character composition, it helps to identify the semantic aspect of the character in which a snake plays an integral role. The RADICAL SNAKE is often used in conjunction with other radicals, such as U+2E93 (CJK RADICAL FISH) and U+2E94 (CJK RADICAL DRAGON), to further enhance the meaning of a particular character. While its usage has been diminished with the adoption of simplified Chinese characters and the rise of digital text, it remains an important element in traditional calligraphy and classical texts. Overall, the CJK RADICAL SNAKE is a critical component of the rich and diverse CJK writing systems, reflecting their unique linguistic and cultural heritage.
