Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼖ has the Unicode code point U+2F16. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2F16 to binary:
00101111 00010110
. 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 10111100 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+2F16, known as Kangxi Radical Hiding Enclosure, serves a crucial role in digital typography and text representation. It is part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical classification system for Chinese characters, which categorizes characters based on their structural components or semantic meanings. This character, specifically designed for use in Chinese script, enables users to accurately identify and classify characters by indicating that a particular character is composed within a larger character containing a "Hiding" radical, a term used in traditional Chinese orthography. By utilizing U+2F16, digital text can maintain its linguistic integrity and cultural context while ensuring accurate search results and proper categorization in databases. This character reflects the long-standing tradition of Chinese language study and its use in digital text demonstrates the preservation of these cultural and linguistic values in modern technology.
