Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽧ has the Unicode code point U+2F67. 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+2F67 to binary:
00101111 01100111
. 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 10100111

Description
U+2F67, the Kangxi Radical Sickness, is a character in Unicode that holds significant value in the realm of digital text, particularly within the context of Chinese typography. As one of the Kangxi radicals, it serves as a semantic or phonetic building block for constructing characters in the Chinese script. The character is based on the classical Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gengyuan in the early 18th century, which systematically classified and catalogued Chinese characters according to their constituent parts or meaning. In digital text, U+2F67 can be used as a reference for linguists and researchers studying the evolution of Chinese script, as well as aiding in the accurate rendering and display of traditional Chinese characters in various electronic platforms and applications.
