Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼋ has the Unicode code point U+2F0B. 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+2F0B to binary:
00101111 00001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F0B, known as the "Kangxi Radical Eight," plays a significant role in the realm of digital typography and text representation. This character is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). In digital texts, particularly those involving Chinese characters, the Kangxi Radical Eight serves as a reference for identifying and categorizing certain groups of characters. By associating characters with their corresponding radicals, U+2F0B assists in simplifying the process of character identification and indexing within databases or software programs. This allows for more efficient searches and better organization of digital text resources. Overall, the Kangxi Radical Eight is an essential tool for those working with Chinese characters, particularly in the fields of linguistics, typography, and computer science.
