Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇐ has the Unicode code point U+31D0. 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+31D0 to binary:
00110001 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+31D0, CJK STROKE H, is a specialized typographical element primarily used within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script family. While it may not hold an explicit meaning in terms of language translation, its presence can significantly influence the visual presentation and readability of text. Its usage is predominantly found in digital text editing, particularly for typesetting purposes where precise control over line spacing, stroke width, or formatting is required. The CJK STROKE H character serves as a marker to indicate the presence of a horizontal stroke in the text, allowing for more accurate and consistent spacing in these scripts that often feature thin vertical strokes interspersed with wider elements. Although it may not have a direct cultural or linguistic implication, its application in digital typography contributes to overall clarity and legibility of text within the CJK script family.
