Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽇ has the Unicode code point U+2F47. 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+2F47 to binary:
00101111 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2F47, known as the Kangxi Radical Sun, plays a significant role in the representation of Chinese characters. It is an essential component of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722). This character serves as a reference for identifying and categorizing characters based on their radicals, which are the basic strokes or components that make up Chinese characters. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Sun is often used to annotate and classify Chinese characters in dictionaries, textbooks, and other linguistic resources. Its usage helps maintain accuracy and consistency in the representation of Chinese characters across various platforms and devices. The character contributes to preserving linguistic heritage while fostering effective communication in the Chinese language.
