Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽐ has the Unicode code point U+2F50. 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+2F50 to binary:
00101111 01010000. 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 10111101 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2F50 is known as the "KANGXI RADICAL COMPARE" character. It serves a specific role in digital text, primarily within the context of Chinese characters and their radicals. In Chinese typography, characters are often composed of simpler components or radicals that carry specific meanings or functionalities. The Kangxi Radical Compare character is used to compare different radicals or parts of a character in order to determine their relationship or commonalities. This process is crucial for understanding and manipulating complex Chinese characters, as it helps users identify the core components and their interrelationships. By utilizing U+2F50, users can efficiently analyze and work with Chinese characters and their radicals in digital text formats, enhancing the overall efficiency of written communication in this language.
