Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼾ has the Unicode code point U+2F3E. 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+2F3E to binary:
00101111 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+2F3E, known as the "Kangxi Radical Door," is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily in digital text, particularly in the realm of Chinese characters and their decomposition. This particular character serves a technical purpose within the Kangxi Dictionary system, which classifies Chinese characters into 540 radicals or elementary strokes. The Kangxi Radical Door represents one such radical, specifically denoting the "door" radical that is found in numerous traditional Chinese characters. In this context, it is used to indicate the semantic and structural components of a character, enabling scholars and linguists to analyze and categorize Chinese characters more efficiently. The Kangxi Radical Door, along with other radicals, forms an essential part of traditional Chinese character studies and contributes to the rich history and cultural significance of the written Chinese language.
