Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾇ has the Unicode code point U+2F87. 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+2F87 to binary:
00101111 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2F87 represents the "Kangxi Radical Oppose" in typography. It is a significant component of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722) and serves as an essential reference work in Chinese lexicography. The Kangxi Radical Oppose character is used to denote opposites or contrasting meanings within the structure of Chinese characters, playing a vital role in the understanding and analysis of Chinese script. In digital text, this character helps scholars and linguists examine the intricacies of Chinese etymology and semantics by indicating when a particular radical may signify an opposite meaning to its usual sense. Thus, U+2F87 holds a critical position in both cultural and linguistic contexts, providing valuable insight into the evolution and nuances of the Chinese writing system.
