Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺬ has the Unicode code point U+2EAC. 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+2EAC to binary:
00101110 10101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+2EAC, also known as CJK RADICAL SPIRIT ONE, is a special glyph used primarily in digital text within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. Its primary role is to serve as a semantic radical or component in these writing systems, where it represents the concept of spirit or soul. In this capacity, U+2EAC can be combined with other CJK characters to form complex characters that carry specific meanings. While its usage is relatively rare and niche compared to more commonly used CJK characters, its presence is essential in the study and understanding of these ancient scripts. It's important to note that due to the complexity and historical development of CJK scripts, the CJK RADICAL SPIRIT ONE may have variations in its appearance depending on the specific script or font being used.
