Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼉ has the Unicode code point U+2F09. 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+2F09 to binary:
00101111 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The character U+2F09, known as KANGXI RADICAL LEGS, plays a significant role in the realm of digital text, specifically within the context of Unicode typography. In the Kangxi Dictionary, which is one of the most comprehensive Chinese dictionaries compiled during the Qing Dynasty, it categorizes characters into radicals to simplify their classification and understanding. The KANGXI RADICAL LEGS character serves as an indicator for characters that contain legs or limbs in their structure, aiding readers in identifying patterns and meanings of complex Chinese characters. This typographic symbol is particularly useful in digital text processing and search engines, as it contributes to the accurate retrieval and categorization of information.
