Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽗ has the Unicode code point U+2F57. 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+2F57 to binary:
00101111 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2F57 represents the Kangxi Radical "Father" (二), a fundamental component of Chinese characters used in digital text processing. As one of the 314 Kangxi radicals, it serves as a semantic and phonetic analysis tool for understanding and categorizing Chinese characters. These radicals help to identify similar character structures, which assists in the learning and teaching of Chinese language. U+2F57 plays a significant role in text processing systems used for Chinese language input, output, and information management, ensuring accurate identification and handling of complex Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical "Father" is named after the Qing Dynasty encyclopedia Yongle Dadian, which features the radicals in its 9,999 articles.
