Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼤ has the Unicode code point U+2F24. 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+2F24 to binary:
00101111 00100100. 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 10111100 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2F24 is known as the "Kangxi Radical Big." It plays a significant role in digital texts related to Chinese typography and lexicography. This character represents one of the 561 Kangxi radicals, which are sets of strokes used as reference points for organizing Chinese characters into groups based on their structural components. The Kangxi Radical Big is utilized in dictionaries and character reference materials to categorize and simplify the understanding of the vast number of Chinese characters. By grouping characters with similar structures, users can efficiently look up meanings, pronunciations, and other details about individual characters. This system originated during the Kangxi era (1662–1722) of the Qing Dynasty in China and has remained a valuable tool for studying and teaching the Chinese language ever since. In summary, U+2F24 is an essential component in digital texts dealing with Chinese typography, serving as a reference point for organizing and understanding the complex system of Chinese characters.
