Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇋ has the Unicode code point U+31CB. 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+31CB to binary:
00110001 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+31CB, known as "CJK Stroke HZZP," holds significance primarily within the realm of digital typography, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. This unique character is a stroke-based symbol used to visually connect or separate other characters or text elements, serving an auxiliary role in written communication. Despite its importance in the CJK contexts, U+31CB lacks broader recognition in non-CJK language settings due to limited cultural and linguistic significance beyond these regions. Consequently, its use is primarily confined to typographical layout design, where it may be employed to create visually appealing or structured arrangements of text, particularly in digital formats.
