Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇅ has the Unicode code point U+31C5. 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+31C5 to binary:
00110001 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+31C5, known as CJK STROKE HZZ, is a typographic element primarily used in digital texts related to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) script systems. Its role is not to represent a specific character or symbol within these languages but rather to act as a visual guide or separator for various sections or columns of text. This character is part of the Extended CJK Unicode block, which consists of additional symbols and characters used in East Asian typography. The CJK STROKE HZZ serves an important function in digital typesetting, particularly in traditional print media formats where it helps to maintain consistency in text alignment and presentation. Although it is less commonly encountered in online or digital texts, its usage in the right context can enhance readability and clarity for users familiar with East Asian script systems.
