Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾜ has the Unicode code point U+2F9C. 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+2F9C to binary:
00101111 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Kangxi Radical Foot (U+2F9C) is a Unicode character with significant importance in the Chinese script system. In digital texts, it serves as a reference to one of the 561 Kangxi radicals, which are basic components used in constructing Chinese characters. This character provides a visual representation and identifier for this specific radical, enabling users and software to search, categorize, or filter characters that contain the Foot radical. The Foot radical is a core component of numerous Chinese characters, contributing to their meaning and pronunciation. While its usage in modern text has diminished due to advancements in digital character recognition and input methods, the Kangxi Radical Foot remains an essential part of traditional and historical literature, where it helps researchers, scholars, and students understand the composition of complex characters and trace their evolution over time.
