Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇑ has the Unicode code point U+31D1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+31D1 to binary:
00110001 11010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+31D1, known as CJK STROKE S, is primarily utilized in digital text to represent a specific type of stroke that is commonly found within Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters. Its role is crucial in typography, specifically for those languages that heavily rely on unique strokes to denote different meanings or words. This character acts as a visual indicator of the type of stroke used, helping to distinguish between similar-looking characters. While it may not hold any notable cultural significance, its importance lies in the precision and clarity it provides within CJK typography, ensuring accurate communication and understanding among speakers of these languages.
