Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾉ has the Unicode code point U+2F89. 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+2F89 to binary:
00101111 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+2F89, also known as the Kangxi Radical Stopping, is a unique character in Unicode typography. Its primary role in digital text is to denote the completion of a particular Kangxi radical within a Chinese character. The Kangxi radical system, named after the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, is an essential tool for understanding and categorizing Chinese characters, which are composed of numerous elements or components. U+2F89 serves as a visual marker that signifies that no further components are needed in that particular character, effectively stopping any additional radicals from being added. In this context, it plays a crucial role in the process of creating and reading complex Chinese characters. Despite its specialized usage within the field of Sinology and typography, U+2F89 remains an important component for those studying or working with the Chinese script.
