Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+31EE. 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+31EE to binary:
00110001 11101110. 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:
11100011 10000111 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+31EE is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Ideographic character, known as 囚 in its simplified form and 獄 in traditional Chinese characters. It represents the concept of 'prison' or 'imprisonment' in both modern and classical Chinese texts. In digital text, it is used to convey this meaning when writing in languages that use these scripts, such as Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese (where it can be read as "kō" or "gō"), and Korean. Its usage may also extend to other CJK language systems due to the shared origins of their writing systems.
