Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽤ has the Unicode code point U+2F64. 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+2F64 to binary:
00101111 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2F64, known as the "KANGXI RADICAL USE" character, serves a unique role in digital text. It is not meant for direct display or representation but rather for indicating how a particular character can be used within the context of Chinese characters. In traditional Chinese typography and character classification systems, characters are often composed of a radical (or " bushu ") along with additional strokes to form a complete character. The KANGXI RADICAL USE character is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon of Chinese characters published during the Qing Dynasty. In digital text, U+2F64 assists in identifying and organizing characters by their radicals, enabling efficient searching, indexing, and analysis within textual databases. By highlighting the usage of specific radicals in character composition, U+2F64 supports linguistic research, education, and cultural preservation efforts related to Chinese typography and language.
