Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽲ has the Unicode code point U+2F72. 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+2F72 to binary:
00101111 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2F72 is known as the "Kangxi Radical Grain." It plays a significant role in digital text by representing one of the 560 Kangxi radicals, which are used as a classification system for Chinese characters. Originating from the Qing Dynasty, these radicals were designed to simplify the learning and understanding of Chinese characters. The character U+2F72 is derived from the "Grain" radical, which represents the concept of grain or wheat in Chinese characters. It is primarily used in typography, particularly in the field of sinology, as a reference for researchers and students of Chinese language and culture.
