Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾰ has the Unicode code point U+2FB0. 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+2FB0 to binary:
00101111 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
The character U+2FB0, also known as "KANGXI RADICAL LEATHER", is an essential component in the field of Unicode and typography. In digital text, it primarily serves a structural purpose, functioning as a radical or index in the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive Chinese lexicon compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Jin Shengtan. Its role involves categorizing characters into groups based on their shared semantic elements or components, simplifying the process of locating specific words or phrases in the vast dictionary. The Kangxi Radical Leather represents one such component and is vital for understanding the etymology and meaning of Chinese characters. Although its usage may seem obsolete in today's digital world with advanced search algorithms, it remains a significant part of the historical context and linguistic heritage.
