Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽟ has the Unicode code point U+2F5F. 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+2F5F to binary:
00101111 01011111. 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 10111101 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+2F5F, known as the Kangxi Radical Jade, holds a significant position in digital typography and Chinese language studies. It is one of the 214 Kangxi radicals used to classify characters in traditional Chinese script. These radicals serve as useful reference points for understanding and learning complex character structures. The Kangxi Radical Jade (U+2F5F) specifically signifies the jade radical, which is a component of numerous characters with diverse meanings. Its typical usage lies in digital text, where it aids in distinguishing different characters that might otherwise appear similar due to the overlap of radical components. This character plays an indispensable role in maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural authenticity in digital texts, facilitating a deeper understanding of the Chinese language and its rich history.
