Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼊ has the Unicode code point U+2F0A. 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+2F0A to binary:
00101111 00001010
. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+2F0A is the "KANGXI RADICAL ENTER" (勖). In the context of digital text, it primarily serves as a component in certain Chinese characters. Specifically, it represents one of the 560 Kangxi radicals, which are elements that make up Chinese characters and are used to facilitate their identification and understanding. Derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, these radicals were named after the Qing Dynasty's emperor, Kangxi, who was a great advocate for standardizing Chinese characters. The KANGXI RADICAL ENTER is typically paired with other radicals to form a complete character. Although this character does not possess any specific cultural or linguistic significance on its own, it plays an essential role in the structure and systematization of Chinese writing.
