Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿂ has the Unicode code point U+2FC2. 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+2FC2 to binary:
00101111 11000010. 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 10111111 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2FC2 represents the Kangxi Radical Fish (甲骨文魚). This character is a component of the Kangxi Dictionary, a lexicographical work compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Zhenming. In digital text, U+2FC2 is primarily used to denote the fish radical in Wenlin-style fonts or traditional Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical Fish holds significance in linguistic and cultural contexts due to its association with the classical Chinese dictionary. It serves as a structural element within characters, helping identify semantic components and facilitating their combination to form meaningful words. The character U+2FC2 is essential for accurate representation of traditional Chinese text in digital systems and contributes to preserving China's rich cultural heritage in the digital realm.
