Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽑ has the Unicode code point U+2F51. 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+2F51 to binary:
00101111 01010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F51 represents the "Kangxi Radical Fur" in traditional Chinese typography. As part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical classification system, it serves as a semantic and phonetic indicator for certain Chinese characters. In digital text, this character plays an essential role in distinguishing different meanings and pronunciations of characters with the same or similar strokes. The Kangxi Radical system is widely used in traditional Chinese writing systems and forms the basis for organizing Chinese characters into groups based on their meaning and sound.
