Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇟ has the Unicode code point U+31DF. 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+31DF to binary:
00110001 11011111
. 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 10011111

Description
U+31DF, known as CJK Stroke SWG, is a character in the Unicode standard used primarily in digital text. It is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) radicals collection, which consists of simplified characters that serve as reference points for composing more complex characters. In digital typography, U+31DF is typically utilized in the context of creating or modifying Chinese characters using radical strokes. The character represents a specific stroke sequence or radical in the CJK script, facilitating the process of constructing or deconstructing complex characters. This character is essential for advanced users and professionals working with Chinese typography, as it helps ensure accuracy in character composition and improves readability.
