Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽘ has the Unicode code point U+2F58. 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+2F58 to binary:
00101111 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
The character U+2F58, also known as KANGXI RADICAL DOUBLE X, holds a significant position in the realm of Unicode and typography. In digital text, it typically represents a combination of two Kangxi radicals, "X" (亚) and "Double" (〇), which together create a new character or symbol. This unique amalgamation showcases the versatility of Chinese characters, allowing for the creation of new symbols and enhancing the expressive potential of written language. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the KANGXI RADICAL DOUBLE X reflects the evolution of script over time, highlighting the dynamic nature of character development in Chinese typography. The character's technical significance lies in its role as part of a larger system, where it contributes to the formation of complex symbols that facilitate communication and understanding across various dialects and regions within the Chinese-speaking world.
