Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺜ has the Unicode code point U+2E9C. 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+2E9C to binary:
00101110 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+2E9C, the CJK Radical Sun, is a lesser-known Unicode character primarily used in digital text as part of the Chinese script. Its role is that of a radical, a component of characters that helps to define their meaning and pronunciation. In traditional Chinese calligraphy, these radicals are often depicted visually within the character itself. U+2E9C specifically represents the sun, which can be found in many characters related to daylight, such as "sunrise" (日) or "moon" (月), and is part of a larger set of CJK radicals defined in Unicode Block 2F000-2FFFF. Although it may not be widely recognized outside of linguistic and typographic circles, the CJK Radical Sun plays an essential role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of Chinese language and writing systems.
