Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼛ has the Unicode code point U+2F1B. 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+2F1B to binary:
00101111 00011011. 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 10111100 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F1B, known as the Kangxi Radical Private, is a specialized typographical symbol primarily used in traditional Chinese characters and Chinese dictionaries. In digital text, this character serves as a classification marker, denoting that the subsequent character or word it precedes belongs to the "Private" category in the Kangxi Dictionary system, which categorizes characters based on their constituent parts or radicals. The Kangxi Radical Private character does not have a direct linguistic meaning but plays a crucial role in understanding and organizing Chinese characters. It is essential for researchers, students, and professionals working with classical Chinese texts, as it assists in locating and identifying specific characters within the vast landscape of the Chinese script.
