Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇏ has the Unicode code point U+31CF. 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+31CF to binary:
00110001 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+31CF, CJK STROKE N, is a rarely used typographic element primarily found in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. Its primary role is to serve as a visual decoration or artistic embellishment within digital text, particularly in works of calligraphy and handwritten script. Though it may not have a direct functional purpose in conveying meaning or information like other characters, the CJK STROKE N adds an aesthetic value by emulating the brush strokes typically found in these scripts. Due to its uncommon usage and specialized context, the character U+31CF is not widely recognized outside of those familiar with calligraphy or the intricacies of CJK writing systems.
