Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽛ has the Unicode code point U+2F5B. 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+2F5B to binary:
00101111 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F5B, known as the "Kangxi Radical Fang," holds a significant position in the realm of digital text typography and is primarily utilized within the context of Chinese characters classification system. It plays a crucial role in demarcating the structural components of Chinese characters and assisting in their identification. The Kangxi Dictionary, one of the most comprehensive dictionaries of classical Chinese ever compiled, serves as the basis for this character decomposition method. This systematic approach to character breakdown has greatly facilitated text processing and information retrieval in Chinese language computing systems. By understanding the role of U+2F5B, programmers can efficiently manage Chinese characters encoding, translation, and display on digital platforms, thereby contributing to the seamless communication and data exchange among users worldwide.
