Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⺢ has the Unicode code point U+2EA2. 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+2EA2 to binary:
00101110 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2EA2 is known as the "CJK Radical Water Two" and plays a significant role in digital texts primarily used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. This typographical element is part of the larger group of Kangxi radicals, which are used to categorize characters in dictionaries and aid in character recognition. Specifically, this radical represents water and is further divided into two categories based on U+2EA2: "Radical Water One" (U+2EAD) and "Radical Water Two" (U+2EA2). In the context of digital text, these radicals facilitate the process of searching and identifying characters in CJK languages by grouping similar characters together. By providing a structured approach to character classification, U+2EA2 contributes significantly to the efficiency of text processing and dictionary management in the CJK language sphere.
