Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇓ has the Unicode code point U+31D3. 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+31D3 to binary:
00110001 11010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+31D3, known as the "CJK STROKE SP", is a unique typographical element primarily used in digital text to represent a visual stroke in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems. Its primary role is to provide an aesthetic enhancement by adding strokes to characters, making them visually distinct or more appealing. The character U+31D3 is often found in digital content created for artistic or design purposes where typographical nuances play a significant role. Despite being less common in everyday text, the CJK STROKE SP has its place in the vast landscape of Unicode characters, contributing to the richness and diversity of digital communication across different languages and cultures.
