Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽝ has the Unicode code point U+2F5D. 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+2F5D to binary:
00101111 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
The character U+2F5D, known as the "Kangxi Radical Dog," holds a significant position within the realm of digital typography and Unicode. Primarily used in the Kangxi Dictionary, it serves as a fundamental component in categorizing Chinese characters according to their structural elements or radicals. The Kangxi Dictionary, named after Emperor Kangxi of China's Qing Dynasty, organizes these radicals alphabetically for easier reference and understanding. This particular radical, represented by the character 犬 (meaning "dog"), helps classify a range of characters in Chinese text that share similar structural features or semantic meanings. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Dog is utilized to facilitate the deciphering and analysis of complex Chinese characters, enhancing readability and accessibility for users familiar with this hierarchical system of classification.
