Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾍ has the Unicode code point U+2F8D. 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+2F8D to binary:
00101111 10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Kangxi Radical Insect (U+2F8D) is a unique character in the Unicode Standard, which consists of a combination of the Kangxi Radical "Insect" and another character, typically used to categorize Chinese characters according to their semantic components. This radical is utilized as a classification tool for organizing and understanding traditional Chinese characters in lexicographical works, such as dictionaries. The use of this character has significant importance in the field of linguistics and cultural studies, as it helps researchers analyze and understand the evolution and development of Chinese characters over time. In digital text, U+2F8D is primarily used to denote the radical "Insect" in various applications and systems that deal with Chinese language processing and analysis.
