Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾝ has the Unicode code point U+2F9D. 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+2F9D to binary:
00101111 10011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2F9D, known as the "Kangxi Radical Body", is a crucial symbol within the Kangxi Dictionary's classification system for Chinese characters. Its primary role in digital text is to serve as an identifier in this systematic taxonomy, enabling users and software programs to efficiently locate specific characters based on their radical components. The Kangxi Radical Body character is a significant element of traditional Chinese scholarship and serves as a foundational aspect of the broader Kangxi Dictionary system. By categorizing characters according to their component parts or radicals, this system aids in understanding the etymological roots and meanings of individual characters, making it an essential tool for students of Chinese language and culture. In digital contexts, U+2F9D is often used in dictionaries, reference materials, and educational resources aimed at preserving and promoting traditional Chinese learning methods.
