Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾶ has the Unicode code point U+2FB6. 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+2FB6 to binary:
00101111 10110110. 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 10111110 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2FB6, known as the Kangxi Radical Fly, is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for its specific role in the classification of Chinese characters according to their radicals. In the context of the Kangxi Dictionary, which serves as a comprehensive reference work on the Chinese language, this character represents one of the 540 radicals or "root elements" that compose Chinese characters. It is named after the Qing Dynasty scholar, Lei Din-t'ao, who devised this classification system during the Kangxi period (1662–1722). The Kangxi Radical Fly symbol itself is derived from a stylized image of a flying creature. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Fly serves as an indicator for characters that contain this radical within their composition, helping users and scholars in identifying and understanding the relationships between different Chinese characters.
