Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽆ has the Unicode code point U+2F46. 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+2F46 to binary:
00101111 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2F46, known as the Kangxi Radical Not, is a crucial element in the encoding of Chinese characters using the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block in the Unicode Standard. This character serves as a marker for indicating that a specific radical (a component of a Chinese character) should not be used or recognized within the character in question. In digital text, it plays an essential role in the accurate representation and differentiation of various Chinese characters, facilitating the correct interpretation and understanding of their meanings. While the Kangxi Radical Not may not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context on its own, its significance lies in its contribution to the precise encoding and presentation of Chinese characters, ensuring that the intended character is accurately represented in digital communication and text processing systems.
