Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾚ has the Unicode code point U+2F9A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2F9A to binary:
00101111 10011010
. 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 10011010

Description
The Kangxi Radical Red (U+2F9A) is a significant character in the field of Unicode and typography. As part of the Kangxi Reference Chart, it serves as a classification system for Chinese characters, which are sorted according to their radicals or basic elements. In digital text, this character helps users and linguists efficiently identify and categorize Chinese characters, thereby facilitating language learning, translation, and computational analysis. The Kangxi Radical Red is deeply rooted in Chinese cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, reflecting the rich history of China's written language system.
