Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽬ has the Unicode code point U+2F6C. 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+2F6C to binary:
00101111 01101100
. 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 10101100

Description
The character U+2F6C, also known as KANGXI RADICAL EYE, holds a significant position in the realm of Unicode and typography. As part of the Kangxi Radicals system, it is used to facilitate classification and indexing of Chinese characters. In digital text, this character serves as a semantic radical, which helps in understanding the meaning and structure of complex characters. The Kangxi Radical EYE is derived from the traditional Chinese character for "eye," and is often employed in the decomposition of Chinese characters into their constituent parts. This process assists in language learning, character recognition, and text processing. Overall, U+2F6C plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and understanding within the vast linguistic landscape of Chinese typography.
