Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾷ has the Unicode code point U+2FB7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2FB7 to binary:
00101111 10110111
. 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 10111110 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+2FB7 represents the "Kangxi Radical EAT" in digital text. This radical is an essential component of the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon developed during the Qing Dynasty in China. It serves as a reference for categorizing and identifying characters based on their underlying meanings and structures. In modern typography, the Kangxi Radical EAT is primarily utilized to facilitate the understanding of Chinese characters by grouping them into meaningful semantic and phonetic components. This enables more efficient character recognition and learning in both educational and professional contexts. By providing a structured approach to analyzing Chinese characters, U+2FB7 contributes significantly to the study and preservation of the rich linguistic heritage of China.
