Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽰ has the Unicode code point U+2F70. 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+2F70 to binary:
00101111 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+2F70 is the Unicode character for "KANGXI RADICAL SPIRIT," which plays a significant role in digital text as an essential element of Chinese characters. In traditional Chinese writing, it serves as one of the 214 Kangxi radicals, a system developed by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gengyu for simplifying and categorizing Chinese characters. Each radical represents a semantic or phonetic component that can be combined with other radicals to form more complex characters. In digital text, U+2F70 is used in various applications such as text processing, character input methods, and linguistic research, contributing to the accurate representation and understanding of Chinese characters in the digital realm. Its use in modern technology reflects its importance in preserving cultural heritage and enabling communication across different languages and regions.
