Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼍ has the Unicode code point U+2F0D. 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+2F0D to binary:
00101111 00001101. 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 10111100 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+2F0D represents the "Kangxi Radical Cover" in digital text. This character is primarily used in traditional Chinese characters to indicate that a given character is composed of two radicals, one of which is covered by the other. In this context, the Kangxi Radical Cover serves as an essential tool for understanding and analyzing the structure of complex characters, particularly in the study of classical Chinese texts. The term "Kangxi" refers to the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive reference work compiled during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722) of the Qing Dynasty, which lists radicals and their associated characters. In modern typography and digital text, the Kangxi Radical Cover is used to denote this relationship between two radicals in a character, helping readers and scholars better comprehend the etymology and meaning of individual Chinese characters.
