Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+31ED. 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+31ED to binary:
00110001 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+31ED, or the character 31ED, is a unique Unicode symbol primarily used in Japanese typography and digital text. Specifically, it represents the Kanji character "禿", which translates to "kuri" or "bald-headed". The character is an essential part of the Japanese language, where it often signifies baldness, shaved heads, or absence of hair. In various cultural contexts, 31ED symbolizes not only physical attributes but also spiritual and religious connotations, such as purification, humility, and adherence to certain traditions. The technical context of U+31ED is that it belongs to the "Kanji" block in Unicode, which encompasses over 6,000 characters essential for encoding Japanese text using digital technology.
