Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽨ has the Unicode code point U+2F68. 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+2F68 to binary:
00101111 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The character U+2F68, also known as the "Kangxi Radical Dotted Tent," holds a unique position within the realm of Unicode and typography. As a part of the Kangxi Radicals, it serves a significant purpose in traditional Chinese characters classification system. Historically, this classification system was developed by the Chinese scholar Lei Gongmu during the Kangxi period, hence its name. In digital text context, U+2F68 is primarily used to identify and categorize Chinese characters, assisting in their proper arrangement and interpretation. It forms part of a group of 560 radicals or " bushu," which are elementary pictographic symbols that make up more complex characters. The Dotted Tent symbol represents the elemental form of a tent-like structure with dots, helping to differentiate similar characters in written Chinese. However, despite its significance in traditional Chinese character classification and digital text categorization, U+2F68 is less frequently used outside this specific context. Its role mainly lies within the realms of linguistics and digital text formatting, where it contributes to the accuracy and efficiency of character recognition and text processing systems.
