Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾡ has the Unicode code point U+2FA1. 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+2FA1 to binary:
00101111 10100001. 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 10111110 10100001

Description
U+2FA1 is a character from the Unicode standard that represents the Kangxi Radical Walk. In digital text, this character serves as a component of Chinese characters, specifically within the Kangxi Dictionary classification system. The Kangxi Dictionary, named after Emperor Kangxi of China, is one of the most comprehensive dictionaries in the history of the Chinese language and was first published in 1716. U+2FA1 plays a crucial role in categorizing Chinese characters into radicals or " bushou" (部首), which are essential components that make up more complex characters. The Kangxi Radical Walk represents the radical or the base part of a character that usually indicates its meaning. Although U+2FA1 itself does not have any inherent meaning, it is an important component in understanding the structure and history of the Chinese writing system. It is worth noting that Unicode has made significant strides in representing the rich diversity of languages and scripts, including Chinese characters, which are visually complex and require advanced typography techniques for accurate rendering.
