Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽅ has the Unicode code point U+2F45. 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+2F45 to binary:
00101111 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
The character U+2F45, known as KANGXI RADICAL SQUARE, holds significant importance in the realm of Unicode and typography. As a component of the Chinese script, it serves as a structural element in digital text, particularly within traditional Chinese characters. KANGXI RADICAL SQUARE forms part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical classification system, which categorizes characters based on their semantic components. This system simplifies the process of learning and teaching Chinese, enabling users to identify the meaning of unfamiliar characters by analyzing their constituent parts. The character U+2F45 contributes to this objective by representing a square shape, one of the fundamental geometric forms in Chinese script. As such, it plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and understanding within the Chinese-speaking community.
