Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽫ has the Unicode code point U+2F6B. 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+2F6B to binary:
00101111 01101011
. 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 10101011

Description
The Kangxi Radical Dish (U+2F6B) is a character used in digital text, particularly within the realm of Sinography, which refers to the study of Chinese characters. It is a part of the Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gengyu, which serves as a foundational reference for understanding and classifying Chinese characters. In this context, the character represents the Kangxi Radical "Dish", indicating that the character in question belongs to the category of symbols denoting containers or vessels. It does not have a direct phonetic or semantic value on its own but plays a crucial role in categorizing and grouping Chinese characters according to their meaning, sound, or other characteristics. This method assists in deciphering the meanings and pronunciations of complex characters, thus preserving cultural, linguistic, and technical context in written Chinese communication.
