Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾑ has the Unicode code point U+2F91. 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+2F91 to binary:
00101111 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Kangxi Radical West (U+2F91) is a character from the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent a specific element in Chinese characters. In digital text, it is often used as a reference point or indicator for various characters and their meanings. This character plays a crucial role in simplifying and categorizing complex Chinese characters by associating them with one of the Kangxi Radicals, a system developed by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gongmu. By doing so, it aids in understanding and learning Chinese characters more efficiently. The Kangxi Radical West is particularly associated with characters that have a semantic element derived from radicals representing 'water.'
