Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾖ has the Unicode code point U+2F96. 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+2F96 to binary:
00101111 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+2F96 is known as the Kangxi Radical Bean, a symbol used primarily in the Chinese writing system. As part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical classification system, it serves to categorize characters based on their semantic and phonetic components. This method facilitates easier understanding and identification of characters for students learning the language. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Bean symbol is utilized to represent this specific radical, aiding in character decomposition and enhancing the overall readability and comprehension of Chinese text. Although it may not be widely recognized outside of the Chinese linguistic context, its significance lies in its role as a classification tool and its contribution to the rich history and complexity of the Chinese writing system.
