Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼯ has the Unicode code point U+2F2F. 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+2F2F to binary:
00101111 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
The character U+2F2F is a specialized Unicode symbol known as the Kangxi Radical Work. In digital text, this character serves as an indicator for the classification of Chinese characters into their respective radicals within the Kangxi Dictionary system. Developed during the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Dictionary is a comprehensive resource that categorizes and analyzes Chinese characters, enabling users to find meanings and usage details more efficiently. The Kangxi Radical Work symbol helps maintain this systematic organization by denoting where a particular character fits within its group of related radicals. By facilitating the indexing and retrieval process in digital texts, the U+2F2F Kangxi Radical Work plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural and linguistic integrity of Chinese language studies and resources.
