Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼄ has the Unicode code point U+2F04. 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+2F04 to binary:
00101111 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2F04, Kangxi Radical Second, plays a significant role in the representation of Chinese characters in digital text. It is an essential component of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the early Qing Dynasty by the scholar Gu Maoxian and has since become the standard reference work for Chinese character classification and decomposition. In digital typography, U+2F04 serves as a radical indicator, helping to deconstruct characters into their constituent parts. This aids in the understanding of complex characters, their meanings, and pronunciations, enabling more accurate processing and interpretation by computers and other software systems. The Kangxi Radical Second is a vital element in maintaining cultural, linguistic, and technological continuity within the Chinese writing system and its digital representation.
