Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾀ has the Unicode code point U+2F80. 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+2F80 to binary:
00101111 10000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Kangxi Radical Brush (U+2F80) is a typographical character used in the context of Kangxi radicals within digital text. These radicals, originating from the Kangxi Dictionary published during the Qing Dynasty, serve as a means to classify Chinese characters based on their component structures. U+2F80 represents a brush stroke, symbolizing the writing tool used in traditional Chinese calligraphy. In digital text, the character is typically used to denote and categorize characters that contain this radical within the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent all characters from most written languages worldwide. Its utilization provides a way for computers to accurately process and display text in Mandarin Chinese, as well as facilitating the understanding of character etymology and formation. Overall, U+2F80 plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural heritage within digital text.
