Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼎ has the Unicode code point U+2F0E. 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+2F0E to binary:
00101111 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+2F0E Kangxi Radical Ice is a typographic character used in digital text, specifically within the context of Chinese typography and character classification. It serves as a component of certain traditional Chinese characters, acting as an indicator for characters that include the radical 雪 (xuě, meaning "snow" or "ice"). The Kangxi Radical Ice is named after the Kangxi Dictionary, which organized Chinese characters into 540 radicals based on their semantic and phonetic components. This system aids in understanding the etymology and meaning of complex characters by breaking them down into smaller, more easily recognizable parts. In digital text processing and font design, the Kangxi Radical Ice is used to classify and categorize Chinese characters for purposes such as sorting, search, and character identification.
