Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾳ has the Unicode code point U+2FB3. 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+2FB3 to binary:
00101111 10110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+2FB3 is known as the Kangxi Radical Sound. In digital text, this character typically represents a specific category in Chinese characters classification. Derived from the Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Dao You (1690-1758), it's used to categorize Chinese characters into 540 radicals or "bushou" for reference and learning purposes. The character U+2FB3 plays a crucial role in the understanding of Chinese language structure, as it helps in identifying the semantic components within the character. It's widely used in digital texts that deal with Chinese language studies and dictionaries to aid in character identification and understanding.
