Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼹ has the Unicode code point U+2F39. 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+2F39 to binary:
00101111 00111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2F39, known as the Kangxi Radical Snoot, is a crucial component of the Chinese writing system. In digital text, it primarily serves as an indexing and classification element in dictionaries and databases. By categorizing characters based on their structural components, or radicals, the Kangxi Radical Snoot helps streamline the process of searching and understanding these complex scripts. This character is a key aspect of linguistic and cultural studies, as it represents one of the 540 radicals in the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled by Chinese scholar Dai Zhen during the Qing dynasty in the early 18th century. The Snoot radical, along with other radicals, has been widely used to analyze and categorize Chinese characters for centuries, contributing significantly to the understanding of the language and its rich history.
