Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇉ has the Unicode code point U+31C9. 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+31C9 to binary:
00110001 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
The character U+31C9, also known as CJK STROKE SZWG, is a specialized Unicode symbol used in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its primary role in digital text is to serve as a diacritic or indicative mark, often used in conjunction with other characters to denote a specific pronunciation, tone, or modifier. The CJK STROKE SZWG character specifically indicates a "retroflex" sound in certain linguistic contexts, which refers to the articulation of consonants at the back of the mouth or tongue tip contact with the upper palate ridge. This Unicode character plays a crucial role in accurately representing and transcribing the sounds of these languages, enabling more precise communication and comprehension among speakers and readers of CJK languages.
