Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾋ has the Unicode code point U+2F8B. 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+2F8B to binary:
00101111 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F8B, also known as the Kangxi Radical Grass, is a specialized symbol used predominantly in digital text within the context of Chinese script and character analysis. Its primary role lies in the classification and categorization of Chinese characters, specifically within the Kangxi Dictionary system devised by the Qing dynasty scholar Lei Gongmu. The Kangxi Radical Grass (草 - 2F8B) serves as a grouping element, representing grasses or herbs, which assists in identifying character components and their meanings. In this capacity, the symbol contributes to the understanding of Chinese characters' etymology, pronunciation, and usage within both historical and modern language contexts. As a crucial component of traditional Chinese scholarship, the Kangxi Radical Grass plays an important role in preserving and facilitating the study of classical Chinese literature, philology, and linguistics.
