Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⻃ has the Unicode code point U+2EC3. 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+2EC3 to binary:
00101110 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2EC3, known as CJK RADICAL WEST ONE, is a critical component of the Chinese script. In digital text, it serves as an essential radical, which is a basic structural unit or stroke sequence in traditional Chinese characters. This particular radical represents the concept of 'West' and is used to help form various characters that convey similar meanings. U+2EC3 plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic tradition of Chinese writing. By accurately representing these radicals in digital text, Unicode facilitates the accurate transmission and understanding of the language across various platforms and devices, enabling effective communication and preservation of this unique script for future generations.
