Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻎ has the Unicode code point U+2ECE. 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+2ECE to binary:
00101110 11001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2ECE, also known as CJK RADICAL WALK TWO, is a specialized typographic symbol commonly used in digital text within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. It serves as a radical or component for constructing more complex characters, specifically those related to walking or movement. This character plays an essential role in facilitating accurate communication and understanding of ideas across these language groups. Due to its technical nature and cultural significance, U+2ECE is widely utilized in various digital applications such as word processing, font design, and text encoding systems that support the CJK languages. The use of this radical character contributes to the richness and complexity of these writing systems by enabling the formation of numerous meaningful characters.
