Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾐ has the Unicode code point U+2F90. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2F90 to binary:
00101111 10010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The character U+2F90, also known as Kangxi Radical Clothes, plays a crucial role in the field of typography and Unicode. As a component of Chinese characters, it is utilized to denote the radical "clothing" or "garments." This radical is employed in numerous characters across various languages that use Chinese characters, such as Japanese and Korean, as well as traditional and simplified Chinese. The Kangxi Radical Catalog, created during the Qing Dynasty by a scholar named Gu Yewen, classifies Chinese characters into 540 radicals or "Simplified Ideographic Character Sets," with Clothes being one of them. In digital text, U+2F90 enables proper classification and categorization of characters based on their underlying structural components, which is essential for accurate text processing and machine translation services.
