Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾒ has the Unicode code point U+2F92. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2F92 to binary:
00101111 10010010
. 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 10111110 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2F92, also known as KANGXI RADICAL SEE, plays a significant role in digital typography and text representation. It is part of the larger Kangxi Radical system, which is a classification scheme for Chinese characters based on their semantic components or radicals. In this system, U+2F92 serves as an indicator that follows a character to signify its relationship with the SEE radical, providing valuable information about its meaning and usage. This allows for more effective communication in digital text, especially among linguists and those learning Chinese language. The Kangxi Radical SEE is widely used in Chinese dictionaries, textbooks, and software applications that deal with Chinese characters and their meanings. By understanding the role of U+2F92 and other Kangxi radicals, users can better grasp the nuances of Chinese linguistics and facilitate more accurate translations between languages.
