Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽵ has the Unicode code point U+2F75. 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+2F75 to binary:
00101111 01110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2F75, known as the "Kangxi Radical Bamboo", holds a significant place in the realm of digital text and typography. This character is part of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was created during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor of China (1654-1722). The dictionary itself is an influential work that organized Chinese characters into 504 radicals or "Kozan" in Japanese, with each radical serving as a basis for compiling Chinese characters. In digital text contexts, U+2F75 acts as an indexing or categorization tool, helping users and software identify and group related characters. This allows for more efficient handling of Chinese text in digital systems, such as search engines and word processors. While its usage is primarily technical and linguistic, the character's association with the Kangxi Dictionary signifies a rich cultural heritage and historical significance within the realm of East Asian linguistics.
