Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽠ has the Unicode code point U+2F60. 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+2F60 to binary:
00101111 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2F60, known as KANGXI RADICAL MELON, is a specialized glyph used in the study of Chinese characters. In the context of digital text, it serves as a component of certain Chinese characters, specifically those that contain the Kangxi Radical Water. This radical, which represents water-related meanings or concepts, can be combined with other elements to create new characters. The character U+2F60 is part of the Kangxi Dictionary, an influential reference work created during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty China. Its inclusion in the dictionary signifies its cultural and linguistic importance within the Chinese language system.
