Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾞ has the Unicode code point U+2F9E. 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+2F9E to binary:
00101111 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+2F9E is a unique Unicode character known as the "Kangxi Radical Cart." This typographic symbol holds significant importance in the field of digital text, specifically within Chinese characters and their radical classification system. The Kangxi Dictionary, which dates back to the Qing Dynasty, categorized Chinese characters into 540 radicals or "Kangxi Radicals," making U+2F9E a part of this influential historical system. Its role in digital text is to serve as a marker for specific character groups and assist with the decomposition of complex characters into their constituent parts, facilitating easier search, retrieval, and understanding within databases or software applications. The Kangxi Radical Cart symbol, like other radicals, contributes to the overall structure and organization of the Chinese writing system and helps maintain its rich linguistic and cultural heritage in the modern digital era.
