Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾦ has the Unicode code point U+2FA6. 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+2FA6 to binary:
00101111 10100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Kangxi Radical Gold (U+2FA6) is a significant character within the Unicode Standard, which facilitates consistent encoding of text across different languages and platforms. This specific character represents one of the 561 Kangxi radicals in Chinese characters. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Gold serves as an indicator of the structural component of a character, helping users understand its etymological roots and meaning. The Kangxi Radical Gold is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gengyu in the early 18th century, and it plays a crucial role in the analysis and study of Chinese characters. Due to its cultural and linguistic importance, the Kangxi Radical Gold remains a vital component of modern digital text processing systems for Chinese language support, particularly within typography and linguistic research.
