Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼂ has the Unicode code point U+2F02. 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+2F02 to binary:
00101111 00000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2F02, known as the Kangxi Radical Dot, is a specialized symbol used primarily in digital text for representing one of the 561 components (or radicals) in the traditional Chinese script. In this context, it serves as an important tool for indexing and categorizing Chinese characters, aiding in their understanding and learning by identifying common structural patterns within them. The Kangxi Radical Dot is named after the Kangxi Dictionary, where it was first introduced and systematically used for character classification. Its significance lies in its role as a foundational element within the Chinese script, helping to break down complex characters into simpler, more manageable components, which is particularly beneficial in educational settings or for students learning Chinese.
