Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽮ has the Unicode code point U+2F6E. 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+2F6E to binary:
00101111 01101110. 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 10111101 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2F6E, known as the KANGXI RADICAL ARROW, is a typographical element primarily utilized in digital text for its distinct visual appearance. This unique symbol originates from the Kangxi Dictionary, an influential reference work compiled by the Qing dynasty emperor Kangxi, and has since become a significant component in the study of Chinese characters. In modern usage, the KANGXI RADICAL ARROW is often employed to denote the beginning or end of a particular section within digital texts, particularly those dealing with Chinese character analysis or classification. Its role in these contexts underscores its cultural and linguistic importance as an aid for understanding the intricate structure of Chinese characters. Due to its technical function and historical significance, the KANGXI RADICAL ARROW remains a valuable tool in the realm of digital text and typography.
