Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼗ has the Unicode code point U+2F17. 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+2F17 to binary:
00101111 00010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+2F17 is a unique character in the Unicode standard known as "KANGXI RADICAL TEN." It plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the context of Chinese characters and their classification. The Kangxi Radical System, named after the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, is an influential method used for analyzing and categorizing Chinese characters. Each radical represents a basic meaning or structural component of characters, making it easier to understand the etymology and usage of these complex symbols. In digital text, U+2F17 facilitates the accurate identification and classification of Chinese characters based on their Kangxi Radical components, which is essential for tasks like input method design, character analysis, and linguistic research. This character serves as a testament to the importance of typography and Unicode in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic complexity of Chinese writing systems.
