Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽻ has the Unicode code point U+2F7B. 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+2F7B to binary:
00101111 01111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F7B is the Kangxi Radical Feather. It plays a significant role in the representation of Chinese characters by acting as an indicator of the semantic component present in a character. In digital text, it is typically used to denote a radical or a basic meaning that can be found within a Chinese character, helping users understand and categorize characters more efficiently. This character, along with other Kangxi radicals, was developed by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gucheng in his dictionary "Kangxi Zidian." The Kangxi Radical Feather symbol represents a feather or bird-like object, which may be part of a larger character's meaning. It is a valuable tool for users studying or working with the Chinese language and contributes to the accuracy and depth of understanding in digital text.
