Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽉ has the Unicode code point U+2F49. 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+2F49 to binary:
00101111 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+2F49, the Kangxi Radical Moon, is a pivotal character in the field of Unicode typography and digital text encoding. Named after the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, this character serves as a base component in traditional Chinese characters, providing essential semantic and phonetic information. The Kangxi Radical System organizes Chinese characters into 540 radicals or "bushou" (部首), which are based on their structural components and meanings. In the digital realm, U+2F49 plays a crucial role in facilitating the accurate rendering of traditional Chinese characters by maintaining their original structure and meaning. This character's cultural significance lies in its historical context and its use in preserving ancient Chinese linguistic traditions, making it an important component for those studying or working with classical texts and languages.
