Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽺ has the Unicode code point U+2F7A. 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+2F7A to binary:
00101111 01111010. 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 10111010

Description
The character U+2F7A, known as the Kangxi Radical Sheep, plays a significant role in the field of typography and digital text. This symbol is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor in the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the 561 radicals used in Chinese characters, serving as a base for numerous compound characters. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Sheep is often employed to provide context and meaning to other characters by indicating which part of the character is derived from this specific radical. The character's use extends beyond the realm of Chinese script, as it has been incorporated into Unicode, a computing industry standard for encoding characters in digital text, making it accessible for a wider range of applications and users worldwide. With its rich cultural and linguistic history, the Kangxi Radical Sheep remains an important symbol in the study of Chinese characters and their representation in digital formats.
