Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽓ has the Unicode code point U+2F53. 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+2F53 to binary:
00101111 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F53, known as the Kangxi Radical Steam, holds a unique position in typography and digital text. As a part of the Kangxi Dictionary, which classifies Chinese characters based on their components, it serves as a reference point for categorizing and understanding Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical Steam specifically represents the "steam" component found in various characters. Its typical usage lies within the realm of digital text, where it is employed to aid in character decomposition and analysis, particularly when dealing with complex Chinese texts. By identifying the presence of this radical, one can better understand the structure and origin of the characters used in both modern and classical Chinese writing systems. In doing so, U+2F53 contributes to preserving cultural heritage and promoting linguistic understanding across diverse populations.
