Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾘ has the Unicode code point U+2F98. 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+2F98 to binary:
00101111 10011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2F98, known as the Kangxi Radical Badger, holds a unique position in the realm of typography and digital text. It is an essential component of the Chinese character classification system, specifically the Kangxi Dictionary, compiled during the Qing Dynasty by scholar Lei Din-t'ao in 1716. The Kangxi Radical Badger serves as a reference point for identifying the radical or semantic element of a Chinese character. In this role, it helps users and linguists better understand the composition and meaning of complex characters, which is crucial for accurate translation and interpretation. Its presence in digital text enables the seamless exchange of knowledge across cultural borders while preserving the rich history and complexity of classical Chinese literature.
