Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾁ has the Unicode code point U+2F81. 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+2F81 to binary:
00101111 10000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F81 is known as the Kangxi Radical Meat, a symbol primarily used in traditional Chinese character classification. In digital text, this radical serves to categorize characters into groups for better organization and understanding. It is part of the larger system of Kangxi Dictionary radicals, which were created by the Qing Dynasty scholar Dong Zhongshu during the compilation of the Kangxi Dictionary in 1716. These radicals are based on simplified forms of characters that represent a portion of their meaning or etymology. U+2F81 is not used for representing actual Chinese characters but is an essential tool in traditional Chinese character dictionaries and reference materials, aiding in the efficient lookup and understanding of complex characters.
