Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇘ has the Unicode code point U+31D8. 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+31D8 to binary:
00110001 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+31D8, or CJK STROKE SWZ, is a specialized symbol used primarily within the digital realm for its unique stroke style. In typography and text formatting, it serves as an alternative representation of Chinese characters in certain contexts. Its role lies in providing users with additional options to depict specific strokes or visual elements when using scripts such as Simplified Chinese. The character is part of a larger set of Unicode characters called the CJK Extensions-A block, which includes other stroke variants and alternative forms of Chinese characters. While it may not be commonly used in everyday text, its inclusion within the Unicode standard offers greater flexibility for typographers, designers, and developers working with Chinese scripts.
