Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇕ has the Unicode code point U+31D5. 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+31D5 to binary:
00110001 11010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+31D5, also known as CJK STROKE HZ, is a specialized typographic element primarily used in digital text within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. It serves as a visual indicator to represent the pronunciation of certain characters or words when using phonetic transcription systems like Zhuyin or Bopomofo. In these systems, CJK STROKE HZ is employed to denote the "h" sound, which contributes to the accurate phonetic rendering and pronunciation guidance for users who may not be familiar with the specific Chinese characters. By fulfilling this role in digital text, U+31D5 aids in facilitating communication, comprehension, and learning among speakers of these languages.
