Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼲ has the Unicode code point U+2F32. 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+2F32 to binary:
00101111 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2F32, known as KANGXI RADICAL DRY, is a specialized symbol used primarily within the Chinese language system. It is not intended for general use in digital text but rather serves as an essential component in the complex framework of Chinese characters. Kangxi Radical Dry holds significance in the traditional context of Chinese linguistics and orthography, where it represents a semantic or phonetic element within a character. Its presence within a character indicates that the character is related to the concept of "dryness" or "thoroughness." The Kangxi Radical system was established during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty and is used to break down Chinese characters into their constituent parts for easier understanding and classification. This system is still widely utilized today, particularly among scholars and students of classical Chinese literature and language.
