Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇢ has the Unicode code point U+31E2. 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+31E2 to binary:
00110001 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+31E2, known as CJK STROKE PG, is a rarely used typographic element primarily employed in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. It serves as a visual guide or separator in digital text, assisting readers in distinguishing between sections of content or indicating the end of a thought within a sentence. Although its usage is quite limited, it holds cultural significance within certain regions where traditional typography practices are valued and upheld. The character is part of a larger set of CJK-specific stroke-based punctuation marks, which include U+31E0 (CJK STROKE DG) and U+31E1 (CJK STROKE SG), among others. These characters are essential in maintaining the balance and harmony within text layouts that have been honed over centuries of typographical evolution.
