Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿉ has the Unicode code point U+2FC9. 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+2FC9 to binary:
00101111 11001001. 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 10111111 10001001

Description
The character U+2FC9, also known as the Kangxi Radical Millet, holds a significant position in the realm of Unicode typography and digital text. In its typical usage, it serves as a component of Chinese characters, specifically as one of the 560 Kangxi radicals used for classification purposes in traditional Chinese lexical studies. This radical represents the elemental concept of millet, an essential crop in ancient China, which reflects its cultural and historical importance. In terms of linguistic context, the Kangxi Radical Millet is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive 18th-century reference work compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din, which is still widely used today for research on Chinese characters. The Kangxi Dictionary employs radicals to categorize and classify Chinese characters, facilitating learning and understanding of the complex language system. The character U+2FC9 has a notable technical aspect as well. In Unicode, it is part of the Han script block, which comprises more than 45,000 characters, encompassing the most widely used logographic writing system in the world. As a key component of digital text representation, the Kangxi Radical Millet contributes to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of Chinese language data across various platforms and applications. In summary, U+2FC9, or the Kangxi Radical Millet, plays an essential role in digital text as a component of Chinese characters, while also embodying significant cultural and historical context from ancient China. Its presence in Unicode ensures that this important element is preserved and accurately represented in modern digital communication.
