Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿅ has the Unicode code point U+2FC5. 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+2FC5 to binary:
00101111 11000101. 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 10111111 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2FC5, known as the Kangxi Radical Deer, plays a vital role in the realm of Chinese typography and digital text. It serves as an essential component in the classification system for Chinese characters, which is based on the Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing dynasty scholar Lei Din-t'ao during Emperor Kangxi's reign. In this system, each character is categorized under a specific radical, which represents its core meaning or structure. The Deer radical signifies that the character primarily consists of a deer-like shape, and it helps to facilitate the learning and understanding of Chinese characters by providing a visual reference for their components. The Kangxi Radical Deer, like other radicals in the system, assists in organizing and indexing characters, aiding both language learners and native speakers alike in comprehending the intricate relationships between characters and their meanings.
