Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾓ has the Unicode code point U+2F93. 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+2F93 to binary:
00101111 10010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Kangxi Radical Horn (U+2F93) is a unique character in Unicode, primarily used as a reference for the organization of Chinese characters. It represents the "horn" component, one of the 560 Kangxi radicals that make up the majority of Chinese characters. In digital text, it serves to categorize and facilitate the understanding of Chinese characters by indicating which part of the character is derived from the horn radical. This aids in the process of character composition and learning, as well as in the indexing and retrieval of characters within computational systems. The Kangxi Radical Horn holds significance in both linguistic and cultural contexts due to its roots in the traditional system of Chinese character classification developed by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gongpu, which is still widely used today.
