Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽋ has the Unicode code point U+2F4B. 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+2F4B to binary:
00101111 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F4B, known as KANGXI RADICAL LACK, holds a unique position in the world of digital typography. This character is an integral part of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722). In this context, the character serves as a radical or root element in Chinese characters, helping to categorize and organize characters for efficient lookup. The Kangxi Dictionary is one of the most significant dictionaries in Chinese history, with over 47,000 entries, and its radical-based classification system has significantly influenced modern Chinese lexicography. In digital text, U+2F4B allows users to search for characters based on their constituent radicals, thus enhancing their understanding of the language's structure. This character's primary purpose is technical, serving as a tool in linguistic research and educational resources.
