Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻍ has the Unicode code point U+2ECD. 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+2ECD to binary:
00101110 11001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+2ECD, known as CJK RADICAL WALK ONE, is a typographic symbol used primarily in digital text to represent the first radical of certain Chinese characters. In the context of traditional Chinese characters, this radical signifies movement or progression along a path. It is often employed in conjunction with other radicals to form more complex characters that carry specific meanings. CJK RADICAL WALK ONE holds significance in the realm of linguistic studies and typography, as it helps maintain consistency and accuracy when representing these characters in digital formats. The usage of this character reflects the ongoing effort to preserve cultural heritage and facilitate communication across different languages, particularly in the context of Chinese language and scripts.
