Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿎ has the Unicode code point U+2FCE. 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+2FCE to binary:
00101111 11001110. 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 10111111 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2FCE represents the Kangxi Radical Drum, a traditional Chinese characters element used in the classification of other characters. In digital text, this radical is employed as part of the Chinese character database, specifically in the Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Ding. The Kangxi Dictionary serves as an authoritative source for identifying and categorizing Chinese characters based on their components or radicals. Each entry contains information such as pronunciation, meaning, strokes, and related characters, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of the language. U+2FCE, along with other Kangxi radicals, forms a crucial part of the Chinese language system, assisting in the identification and learning of complex characters for linguists, students, and researchers.
