Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⼓ has the Unicode code point U+2F13. 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+2F13 to binary:
00101111 00010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2F13, known as the Kangxi Radical Wrap, holds a significant place in digital typography and Chinese character studies. Its typical usage lies in the context of Kangxi Dictionary's radical classification system for Chinese characters. In this system, each character is categorized under a primary radical that indicates its meaning or sound components. The Kangxi Radical Wrap serves as a separator between the primary radical and its components or sub-components, thereby facilitating clear visual demarcation and ease of understanding in the study of Chinese characters. This unique typographical element is vital for maintaining the integrity and legibility of complex character structures in digital texts. Despite being less familiar to non-Chinese speakers, it plays a crucial role in preserving cultural, linguistic, and historical continuity within the Chinese writing system.
