Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺕ has the Unicode code point U+2E95. 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+2E95 to binary:
00101110 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E95, known as CJK RADICAL SNOUT TWO, is a specialized typographical element used in traditional Chinese characters, specifically in the composition of radicals that represent a specific semantic or phonetic component. Its primary role in digital text is to serve as a visual guide for scribes and calligraphers when handwriting Chinese characters, particularly those that contain the "snoot" (口) radical. The CJK RADICAL SNOUT TWO symbol aids in the correct formation of these characters by indicating the relative positioning of the radical within the overall structure of the character. In the realm of linguistics and cultural studies, understanding the use and significance of such radicals is crucial for deciphering the etymology and meaning of complex Chinese characters. Overall, U+2E95 is an essential tool in maintaining the richness of traditional Chinese calligraphy and preserving its historical context within digital text environments.
