Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼔ has the Unicode code point U+2F14. 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+2F14 to binary:
00101111 00010100. 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 10010100

Description
The character U+2F14 is known as the "Kangxi Radical Spoon." In digital text, it is often used to represent a specific component in Chinese characters, which is one of the most widely spoken languages worldwide. This radical serves as an essential building block for creating numerous characters in the language, facilitating communication and expression among its vast user base. The character's cultural significance lies in its connection to the Kangxi dictionary, compiled by the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi, which has been instrumental in the development and standardization of the Chinese language. As a technical aspect, U+2F14 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent every character in the world's writing systems, ensuring that digital communication remains accurate, accessible, and consistent across different platforms and devices.
