Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇍ has the Unicode code point U+31CD. 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+31CD to binary:
00110001 11001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+31CD, known as CJK STROKE HZW, primarily serves as a stroking or decorative element in digital text within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. Its primary role is to enhance the visual presentation of characters by adding a stylized horizontal zhuangzi stroke, which resembles a wavy line, to them. Culturally, the use of U+31CD reflects the rich tradition of calligraphy and aesthetic appreciation in East Asian typography. This character is frequently utilized in digital text for its decorative purposes, particularly in contexts such as headings, titles, and other areas where visual impact is desired without altering the meaning or content of the text.
