Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+31E5. 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+31E5 to binary:
00110001 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
The character U+31E5 is known as CJK STROKE SZP in Unicode typography. It primarily serves a stylistic role in digital text, being used to denote the absence of sound or non-phonetic characters within a word. This is particularly useful in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts where many characters do not represent sounds but are indicative of meaning or concept. U+31E5 CJK STROKE SZP plays an essential role in text formatting and typesetting, ensuring clear communication and comprehension for readers familiar with these scripts. In a linguistic context, it helps to distinguish between homophonic characters that have different meanings, thus enhancing the accuracy and precision of communication. U+31E5 CJK STROKE SZP is an integral part of the Unicode standard, which ensures global consistency and interoperability across digital platforms and devices, allowing for seamless text exchange between speakers of different languages that use the CJK scripts.
