Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾩ has the Unicode code point U+2FA9. 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+2FA9 to binary:
00101111 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Kangxi Radical Mound (U+2FA9) is a unique character in Unicode that primarily serves as a classification element for Chinese characters. In the context of digital text, it is used to represent the Kangxi radical "巛," which is one of the 560 Kangxi radicals established by the Qing dynasty lexicographer Yuan Henian in his dictionary "Kangxi Zidian." These radicals serve as a means of categorizing and organizing Chinese characters based on their structural components, facilitating the understanding and study of the complex Chinese script. While U+2FA9 may not appear frequently in daily digital text, it plays an essential role in linguistic research, character analysis, and the development of Chinese input methods.
