Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇠ has the Unicode code point U+31E0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+31E0 to binary:
00110001 11100000
. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+31E0, CJK STROKE HXWG, is a specialized typographical element primarily used in digital text within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) script family. This character serves as a visual marker to represent the phonetic or semantic relationship between two words or phrases. In a textual context, it can be employed to indicate the deletion of specific characters or sections, demonstrating the importance of editing in written communication. The CJK STROKE HXWG is particularly useful for language professionals and students seeking to refine their understanding of the complexities and nuances within the CJK script system. While it may appear as a simple vertical line or oblique stroke, its presence can significantly impact the interpretation and meaning of the text in which it appears.
