Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽡ has the Unicode code point U+2F61. 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+2F61 to binary:
00101111 01100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Kangxi Radical Tile (U+2F61) is a character used primarily in digital text to represent a specific category within the Kangxi Dictionary, which is an essential Chinese lexicographical work compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din. In the context of written Chinese, this radical serves as a reference point for identifying and categorizing characters with similar components or meanings. The character is not commonly used in modern language applications due to the evolution of the Chinese writing system and the prevalence of digital tools that facilitate character lookup and usage. However, it remains an important artifact of traditional Chinese lexicography and typography, offering a window into the historical development of the language and its systematization.
