Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽙ has the Unicode code point U+2F59. 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+2F59 to binary:
00101111 01011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F59, known as the "KANGXI RADICAL HALF TREE TRUNK," holds significant importance in digital text, particularly within the realm of Sinography. Derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon compiled during the Qing Dynasty by the Emperor Kangxi himself, this character is part of the 561 radicals that make up Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical Half Tree Trunk serves as an essential component for understanding and interpreting complex Chinese characters, as many characters are constructed using a combination of these radicals. In digital text, this character provides crucial information about the structure, meaning, and pronunciation of numerous Chinese words, thus facilitating accurate translation and interpretation. Its inclusion in digital texts significantly aids linguists, translators, and students in their pursuit of understanding Chinese characters and language, thereby promoting cultural appreciation and exchange.
