Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾼ has the Unicode code point U+2FBC. 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+2FBC to binary:
00101111 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2FBC, known as the "Kangxi Radical Tall," holds a significant position in typography and digital text representation. As part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical classification system for Chinese characters, it serves as an indexing tool, facilitating the organization and lookup of characters based on their structural components or semantic meanings. The Kangxi Dictionary, compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din-Tao during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), is a renowned lexicographic work containing 47,035 characters, making it one of the most comprehensive dictionaries in the history of Chinese linguistics. In digital text, U+2FBC contributes to preserving and promoting this vital aspect of traditional Chinese orthography and lexicography. Its use is primarily found within Unicode data sets, research on classical Chinese texts, and studies of ancient Chinese writing systems. As such, it represents a crucial element in the broader context of cultural, linguistic, and technical heritage.
