Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾅ has the Unicode code point U+2F85. 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+2F85 to binary:
00101111 10000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2F85 is known as the "Kangxi Radical Mortar." In digital typography, it serves a significant role in representing Chinese characters through their decomposition process. This character serves as a radical for several characters in the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722) by Emperor Kangxi himself. The Kangxi Radical Mortar represents a mortar and pestle, a common kitchen tool in ancient China used for grinding ingredients. As such, this character often appears as a component of other Chinese characters that denote various meanings and contexts, from culinary to agricultural or even medicinal purposes. The Kangxi Radical Mortar plays an essential part in the study of Chinese etymology, providing valuable insights into the evolution of Chinese script and the history of Chinese culture.
