Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾲ has the Unicode code point U+2FB2. 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+2FB2 to binary:
00101111 10110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2FB2, also known as the Kangxi Radical Lee, holds a significant place in the world of typography and digital text. This unique character is primarily used to categorize Chinese characters based on their root elements or radicals in the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar, Lei Din-t'o (1602–1657). The Kangxi Radical Lee represents the radical 'tree,' which is present in various Chinese characters, thus facilitating the organization and understanding of complex Chinese text. In digital texts, U+2FB2 serves as a reference for researchers, linguists, and those interested in Chinese etymology and character studies. Its presence in digital texts enables efficient classification and searchability of characters while providing insight into the origins and meanings of these symbols. Despite its niche application, the Kangxi Radical Lee plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity and accessibility of traditional Chinese text in a rapidly digitizing world.
