Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾹ has the Unicode code point U+2FB9. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2FB9 to binary:
00101111 10111001
. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2FB9, known as the Kangxi Radical Fragrant, is an essential symbol in the study of Chinese characters and their components. In digital text, it serves as a reference point for identifying and analyzing the structure of complex Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical system, devised by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gongmu during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), classifies Chinese characters into 540 radicals or components based on their structural and semantic features. These radicals are primarily used in dictionaries, character analysis, and educational materials to simplify the understanding and learning of Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical Fragrant (香) is one such radical, denoting the fragrance aspect, and can be found as a component in many Chinese characters related to scent, aroma, or fragrance. As a result, it plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of China while facilitating the learning and analysis of the complex Chinese writing system.
