Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽈ has the Unicode code point U+2F48. 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+2F48 to binary:
00101111 01001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+2F48, commonly referred to as "KANGXI RADICAL SAY," is a specialized typographical element primarily utilized in digital text relating to Chinese characters and their classification. Within the realm of traditional Chinese character studies, this radical serves as an indicator or reference point, assisting in the understanding and categorization of Chinese characters by breaking them down into simpler components or radicals. The KANGXI RADICAL SAY is particularly associated with the "Kangxi Dictionary," a comprehensive lexicographical work compiled during the early Qing Dynasty that systematically classifies Chinese characters based on their respective radicals, providing an essential resource for scholars and linguists alike. In summary, U+2F48 (KANGXI RADICAL SAY) plays a crucial role in the field of Chinese character analysis, facilitating the breakdown and classification of complex characters into more manageable components for easier comprehension and study.
