Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽊ has the Unicode code point U+2F4A. 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+2F4A to binary:
00101111 01001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+2F4A is known as the Kangxi Radical Tree, a symbol used primarily in digital text for its typographical purposes. In traditional Chinese characters, this radical signifies a tree or wood and is often used as a component within larger characters to convey these meanings. The Kangxi Radical Tree holds cultural significance as it originates from the 1716 dictionary "Kangxi Zidian" compiled by the Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, which served as a critical reference for Chinese character classification and usage. In contemporary typography, the Kangxi Radical Tree is utilized to preserve traditional writing systems and facilitate the understanding of complex characters in digital text formats, particularly in East Asian languages like Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean.
