Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇚ has the Unicode code point U+31DA. 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+31DA to binary:
00110001 11011010
. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+31DA is known as CJK STROKE SG (CJK Stroke "Sang" or "Shan" Glyph). This typographical element plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realms of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts. Its primary usage lies in the representation of a visual stroke that could potentially be found in various traditional calligraphic characters. However, it doesn't hold any inherent meaning by itself but serves as a component in composite characters. The character may appear to be a stroke from certain Chinese characters such as "宋" or "叱". Despite its lack of standalone semantic value, U+31DA contributes to the aesthetic and structural integrity of written text in CJK scripts.
