Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺭ has the Unicode code point U+2EAD. 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+2EAD to binary:
00101110 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+2EAD, known as the CJK RADICAL SPIRIT TWO, is an essential symbol used in digital text for Chinese characters. In the realm of typography, it serves a crucial role in helping to denote specific radicals within these characters. These radicals are fundamental building blocks that help to categorize and facilitate understanding of complex Chinese characters. The CJK RADICAL SPIRIT TWO is particularly associated with the 'Spirit' or 'Human' radical, represented by two horizontal strokes, which often denotes concepts related to human beings or spirits in Chinese culture. It is primarily used in digital text for its linguistic and cultural significance, providing a means for readers familiar with these characters to quickly identify and understand the underlying meaning. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that this important symbol can be accurately represented across various digital platforms, maintaining the integrity of traditional Chinese texts in the modern digital age.
