Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼞ has the Unicode code point U+2F1E. 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+2F1E to binary:
00101111 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Kangxi Radical Enclosure character (U+2F1E) is a lesser-known, rarely used Unicode character primarily employed in the field of digital text. It is classified under the Kangxi radical, which is one of the 560 components of Chinese characters. In the context of traditional Chinese typography and character decomposition, the Kangxi radical serves as a reference for understanding the origin or meaning of certain characters. Specifically, the Kangxi Radical Enclosure character represents a conceptual enclosing element in these decompositions. Although its usage is limited, it plays an important role in maintaining consistency and comprehension within digital texts that employ traditional Chinese typography. The character's significance lies in its historical and cultural context, originating from the Kangxi Dictionary compiled during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, which remains a foundational resource for Chinese language studies today.
