Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼙ has the Unicode code point U+2F19. 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+2F19 to binary:
00101111 00011001. 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 10111100 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F19 is known as the Kangxi Radical Seal. It plays a significant role in digital text as it represents one of the 560 Kangxi radicals, which are a system for indexing Chinese characters based on their component structures. These radicals were developed by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din-t'ao and are used extensively in dictionaries, character reference works, and software tools to facilitate easier character lookup and identification. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Seal character (U+2F19) is often utilized alongside other Chinese characters to indicate the radical from which they originate. This system has been pivotal in preserving linguistic heritage and contributing to the richness of the Chinese language.
