Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾄ has the Unicode code point U+2F84. 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+2F84 to binary:
00101111 10000100
. 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:
11100010 10111110 10000100

Description
U+2F84, the Kangxi Radical Arrive, is a character in the Unicode Standard that holds significance in the field of digital typography and text processing. This character represents the 153rd radical out of the 214 Kangxi radicals, which were developed during the Kangxi period (1662-1722) under the Qing Dynasty in China. The Kangxi Radicals are used to categorize and group Chinese characters based on their component strokes, enabling users to search for characters with similar structures more efficiently. In digital text, U+2F84 is typically utilized in applications that require the representation of Chinese characters, particularly those dealing with classical literature, historical texts, or linguistic studies. While its usage may be limited due to the character's specialized nature, it remains an essential element in preserving and understanding the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese language and script.
