Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼏ has the Unicode code point U+2F0F. 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+2F0F to binary:
00101111 00001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+2F0F, known as the Kangxi Radical Table, plays a significant role in the field of digital typography and textual representation. It is primarily used to categorize Chinese characters into their respective radicals, which are semantic or phonetic elements that make up each character. The Kangxi Radical Table, named after the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi who commissioned its creation, serves as a comprehensive classification system for over 21,000 Chinese characters. This system has been invaluable for linguistic studies, digital text processing, and in the development of character input methods such as IME (Input Method Editors). It has contributed immensely to the understanding, learning, and efficiency of Chinese textual communication across various digital platforms. The Kangxi Radical Table is a testament to the rich cultural history and linguistic complexity of the Chinese language, and its presence in Unicode ensures that this tradition continues to be preserved and accessible for future generations.
