Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿄ has the Unicode code point U+2FC4. 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+2FC4 to binary:
00101111 11000100. 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 10111111 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2FC4, also known as the Kangxi Radical Salt, is a specialized character used in the classification of Chinese characters according to their radicals. In digital text, it serves as an identifier for this specific radical, facilitating the organization and lookup of Chinese characters based on their structural components. The Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Zhang Yushu, is a renowned reference work that uses radical classification to systematically categorize Chinese characters. This system groups characters into different classes or radicals based on their most identifiable part. U+2FC4's role in this context is significant, as it helps maintain the accuracy and efficiency of the categorization process within digital platforms, enabling users to search for characters with ease.
