Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇌ has the Unicode code point U+31CC. 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+31CC to binary:
00110001 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+31CC (CJK STROKE HPWG) is a specialized typographical element used primarily within the digital text of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) scripts. Its role is to visually connect or separate characters or sections of text without disrupting the flow of reading. This character serves as a visual indicator for readers and editors alike in these languages, facilitating comprehension and navigation. It holds no phonetic or semantic value but contributes significantly to the grammatical structure of the texts it is used in, much like punctuation marks do in Western scripts. There isn't any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context tied to this character as such; rather, its utility and importance lie in its function as a structural tool within CJK typography.
