Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇗ has the Unicode code point U+31D7. 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+31D7 to binary:
00110001 11010111
. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+31D7 is known as CJK STROKE SZ. This typographical symbol serves a crucial role in digital text, primarily within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. Its primary function is to denote the correct stroke order for characters in these languages, where the stroke order is critical for the precise interpretation of symbols. The CJK STROKE SZ character assists calligraphers, typographers, and students in learning and teaching correct stroke sequences, ensuring the accurate representation and transmission of ideas across different media. This symbol reflects the importance of cultural and linguistic context in digital text, as well as the technical considerations necessary for effective communication within the CJK writing systems.
