Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿃ has the Unicode code point U+2FC3. 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+2FC3 to binary:
00101111 11000011. 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 10111111 10000011

Description
U+2FC3, known as the Kangxi Radical Bird, is a character utilized primarily within digital text to represent a specific component of characters in the Chinese script. This character symbolizes the radical 'bird,' which is one of the 560 components or building blocks in the structure of Chinese characters. The Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon created during the Qing Dynasty, classified and arranged these radicals to simplify the understanding and learning of the Chinese language. This classification system, still widely used today, facilitates the identification of meanings and pronunciations for numerous characters. Therefore, U+2FC3 plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when using digital text systems.
