Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾽ has the Unicode code point U+2FBD. 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+2FBD to binary:
00101111 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+2FBD, known as the "Kangxi Radical Hair," is a specialized symbol used primarily within the context of Chinese characters and their classification system. In this role, it serves as one of the 506 Kangxi radicals, a set of elements that were identified by the Qing Dynasty scholar Gu Liang during the early years of the 18th century for classifying Chinese characters. Each radical is represented by a single character or a simple combination of them, and together they provide a methodical way to understand and categorize Chinese characters based on their constituent parts and meanings. The Kangxi Radical Hair specifically represents a "hair" element in Chinese characters, and when combined with other radicals, it helps create a visual representation of the overall character's meaning. In digital text, U+2FBD is used to maintain this classification system for Chinese characters, ensuring accurate communication and understanding across different platforms and applications.
