Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺇ has the Unicode code point U+2E87. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2E87 to binary:
00101110 10000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2E87 is known as the CJK Radical Table. It primarily serves a reference function in the realm of digital text, specifically within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. This character is not used to represent any particular word or concept but rather as an organizational tool. In traditional writing systems like those of the CJK languages, radicals are simplified graphical representations of more complex characters, which are in turn composed of these simpler elements. By cataloging and grouping these radicals in a table format, U+2E87 provides a means to efficiently locate and reference them. This system is particularly useful in dictionaries, character databases, and other resources that require the systematic classification and retrieval of individual characters or their constituent radical components.
