Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼢ has the Unicode code point U+2F22. 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+2F22 to binary:
00101111 00100010
. 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 10111100 10100010

Description
U+2F22 is a character from the Unicode standard, representing the Kangxi radical "Go Slowly" in digital text. The Kangxi radical, named after the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, serves as a reference for identifying semantic and phonetic components of Chinese characters. In this context, the U+2F22 character is used to denote a specific part or meaning of a character, aiding in the understanding and breakdown of complex Chinese symbols. While not commonly found outside of Chinese linguistic studies, its role in the analysis and classification of Chinese characters is critical for maintaining accuracy and efficiency in communication, especially within the academic community and translators.
