Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻁ has the Unicode code point U+2EC1. 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+2EC1 to binary:
00101110 11000001. 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 10111011 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+2EC1 is known as CJK RADICAL TIGER. It primarily serves a role in digital text for the representation of Chinese characters. Specifically, it is used within the context of traditional Chinese characters. In these characters, the radical forms the basis or a portion of the overall symbol, providing a sort of "semantic" or conceptual framework. For instance, if you were to see a character containing the radical U+2EC1 (CJK RADICAL TIGER), it would likely involve some form of tiger in its meaning or imagery. This use of radicals in Chinese characters is deeply rooted in the language's linguistic and cultural traditions, serving as a mnemonic device to help in remembering complex character forms. The use of U+2EC1 (CJK RADICAL TIGER) is therefore not only technically accurate but also culturally significant within the realm of Chinese typography and character formation.
