Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼑ has the Unicode code point U+2F11. 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+2F11 to binary:
00101111 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+2F11 is a Unicode character representing the Kangxi Radical Knife. This character primarily serves a typographic function in digital text, particularly in the context of Chinese characters. In traditional Chinese orthography, each character is composed of a radical and phonetic components, with the former being a graphical representation that reflects the meaning or structure of the character. The Kangxi Radical Knife (U+2F11) represents one such radical, specifically denoting the knife element in the composition of Chinese characters. This particular radical is used to indicate that a character contains the basic meaning or structure associated with cutting tools or related actions. By using U+2F11, digital text can maintain accurate representations of traditional Chinese characters, preserving their cultural significance and linguistic integrity in modern communication and information systems.
