Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼆ has the Unicode code point U+2F06. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2F06 to binary:
00101111 00000110
. 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 10000110

Description
U+2F06 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents the Kangxi Radical Two. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the context of Chinese characters and their decomposition. In traditional Chinese orthography, each character is made up of a radical and a set of phonetic components. The Kangxi Radical Two serves as an identifier for a specific group of radicals, which are used to classify characters based on their semantic meaning or pronunciation. This system is particularly useful in dictionaries and other reference materials, where it helps organize and simplify the vast array of Chinese characters. In digital text, U+2F06 enables accurate searching, indexing, and comparison of traditional Chinese characters, making it an essential component for maintaining linguistic accuracy and facilitating communication in the Chinese language.
