Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾺ has the Unicode code point U+2FBA. 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+2FBA to binary:
00101111 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
The character U+2FBA (KANGXI RADICAL HORSE) is a significant component of the Kangxi Character Dictionary, an essential lexicographical work in Chinese language studies. In digital text, it represents the radical horse, a fundamental building block in the composition of Chinese characters. This radical serves as a phonetic and semantic indicator, helping to classify and analyze characters for educational purposes and character encoding systems like Unicode. The Kangxi Radical Horse is widely used in linguistic research and historical analysis due to its cultural significance and role in traditional Chinese script.
