Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽁ has the Unicode code point U+2F41. 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+2F41 to binary:
00101111 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
U+2F41 is a character from the Unicode Standard, representing the Kangxi Radical Rap. In digital text, this character typically serves as a classification or reference symbol for certain characters in traditional Chinese typography. The Kangxi Dictionary, compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Gu Maoxian, categorizes Chinese characters into 540 radicals or basic components that make up complex characters. Among these radicals, the Kangxi Radical Rap is unique as it was specifically designed to provide a systematic classification and indexing system for the vast Chinese character set. This radical serves as an essential tool for Chinese language studies, providing scholars and students with a means to easily identify and understand the fundamental structure of a character, facilitating more efficient learning and research in Chinese linguistics and typography.
