Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽶ has the Unicode code point U+2F76. 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+2F76 to binary:
00101111 01110110. 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 10110110

Description
The character U+2F76, known as the "Kangxi Radical Rice," plays a significant role in digital typography and Chinese linguistics. Derived from the Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din, this radical serves as a preliminary classification system for Chinese characters. The character is commonly utilized to categorize and identify characters with similar structural components or meanings. This systematic organization aids in the study of the Chinese language, as well as assists in digitally processing and indexing ancient texts for modern research purposes. The Kangxi Radical Rice specifically represents the semantic element of "rice," which is prevalent across many Chinese characters that pertain to agricultural or culinary contexts. As a result, U+2F76 holds immense cultural, linguistic, and technical significance within the realm of digital text and typography.
