Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿒ has the Unicode code point U+2FD2. 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+2FD2 to binary:
00101111 11010010. 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 10111111 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2FD2, known as the "Kangxi Radical Tooth," holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. As one of the 560 Kangxi radicals, it is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, an influential Chinese lexicon compiled during the Qing Dynasty. Its primary function is to serve as a classification marker within the Chinese character system, where each character is broken down into its constituent parts or radicals. In digital text, U+2FD2 helps to categorize characters and enhance searchability, facilitating more efficient navigation through vast repositories of Chinese texts. Its role in typography showcases the importance of understanding and utilizing Unicode systems that enable accurate representation and identification of characters across various languages. By promoting cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, U+2FD2 contributes to fostering global communication and the preservation of cultural heritage.
