Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼅ has the Unicode code point U+2F05. 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+2F05 to binary:
00101111 00000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2F05, known as the Kangxi Radical Hook, plays a crucial role in digital typography and text processing systems. This specific character is primarily utilized within the realm of Chinese characters classification, serving as an indicator for certain structural features that are indicative of traditional Chinese scripts. In the context of linguistic analysis, it acts as a reference to help identify the constituent parts or components of a given character, which can be traced back to Kangxi Dictionary – a prominent Chinese encyclopedic dictionary compiled during the early Qing Dynasty. The Kangxi Radical Hook is thus an essential tool in linguistic and cultural studies, as it aids in understanding and maintaining the integrity of traditional Chinese texts. Its usage and application in digital text systems underline its significance in preserving the richness and complexity of ancient writing systems.
