Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⽎ has the Unicode code point U+2F4E. 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+2F4E to binary:
00101111 01001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2F4E, known as the "Kangxi Radical Weapon," holds a significant place in the realm of digital text. As one of the 214 Kangxi radicals, it serves as a semantic and phonetic building block for constructing Chinese characters, particularly in traditional writing systems. These radicals help with character identification and classification, enabling readers to better understand the meaning and pronunciation of complex characters. In modern digital text, the Kangxi Radical Weapon is primarily used to represent and categorize Chinese characters in electronic dictionaries, word processing software, and other applications that deal with written language. By understanding its role in these contexts, users can more effectively navigate and search for specific characters within these resources. Overall, the Kangxi Radical Weapon is an essential component of digital text systems related to the Chinese language, reflecting its rich cultural, linguistic, and technical significance.
