Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽾ has the Unicode code point U+2F7E. 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+2F7E to binary:
00101111 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
The character U+2F7E, known as the Kangxi Radical Plow, holds significant importance within the realm of Unicode typography and digital text. Derived from the ancient Chinese writing system, this radical represents a specific semantic element that can be found in numerous traditional Chinese characters. As a key part of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the Qing Dynasty by the scholar Lei Din-t'ao (1657–1739), the Kangxi Radical Plow serves as an essential tool for understanding and analyzing the intricate structure of Chinese characters. Its use in digital text facilitates the preservation and transmission of traditional Chinese literature, culture, and linguistic heritage. By accurately representing this ancient symbol in digital format, Unicode ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate the rich history and nuanced meanings embedded within these complex characters.
