Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽹ has the Unicode code point U+2F79. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2F79 to binary:
00101111 01111001
. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F79 represents the "Kangxi Radical Net" in digital texts. This symbol is predominantly used in the classification of Chinese characters according to their structural components known as Kangxi radicals. Developed during the Qing Dynasty, these radicals help simplify the process of learning and understanding complex Chinese characters by breaking them down into more manageable parts. The Kangxi Radical Net specifically represents one of the 501 Kangxi radicals, which are still widely used in modern-day Chinese linguistic studies and dictionaries. In a digital context, U+2F79 is utilized to accurately represent this essential aspect of traditional Chinese orthography, enabling seamless communication across languages and cultures.
