Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼡ has the Unicode code point U+2F21. 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+2F21 to binary:
00101111 00100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F21 represents the Kangxi Radical GO (債). In digital text, this character is often used in the context of Chinese characters classification and reference. It is one of the 500 Kangxi radicals used in the composition of Chinese characters, which were compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Geng during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722). Each of these radicals provides a basic component or structure for forming more complex characters. The character 債 specifically represents a debt or a loan, with the meaning depending on the combination with other components in a compound character. Due to its importance in Chinese orthography and etymology, U+2F21 is widely used by typographers, linguists, and educators for accurate representation and classification of Chinese characters in digital text.
