Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽿ has the Unicode code point U+2F7F. 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+2F7F to binary:
00101111 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+2F7F represents the "Kangxi Radical Ear" (𗝫) in digital text. It is a component of several Chinese characters in the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled by the Qing dynasty scholar Dong Zhuo. In traditional Chinese typography, the radical system is used to categorize and simplify the learning of characters by grouping them into meaningful categories based on their components. The Kangxi Radical Ear signifies a specific semantic or phonetic component in Chinese characters, often referring to an ear-like shape or sound. In digital text, this character can be used for various purposes, such as in educational materials, historical texts, and typographical studies. Its presence helps maintain the cultural integrity of traditional Chinese characters while enabling accurate and efficient text encoding and processing in modern computing systems.
