Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾢ has the Unicode code point U+2FA2. 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+2FA2 to binary:
00101111 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2FA2, known as the "Kangxi Radical City," plays a significant role in digital text as part of the Kangxi Reference Dictionary, which was compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Gu Yewen during the early years of the 18th century. This radical is used to classify Chinese characters based on their structural components and semantic meanings. In the context of Chinese typography and linguistics, U+2FA2 is crucial for understanding and categorizing characters related to cities or urban settings. By utilizing this character, digital text can be more accurately annotated and organized, allowing for improved research and analysis in various fields such as historical studies, cultural preservation, and digital humanities.
