Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼃ has the Unicode code point U+2F03. 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+2F03 to binary:
00101111 00000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Kangxi Radical Slash (U+2F03) is a specialized character in Unicode that holds significant importance in the field of digital text, particularly within the realm of Chinese typography. As part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical system for classifying Chinese characters, this character serves as an identifier for those radicals that include a slash-like element. In digital texts and databases, the Kangxi Radical Slash helps categorize and organize complex Chinese characters into their respective radical groups, thus facilitating easier searchability, classification, and analysis. The character is rooted in the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled during the reign of the Qing Dynasty's Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), making it a vital component of Chinese language history as well.
