Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⿈ has the Unicode code point U+2FC8. 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+2FC8 to binary:
00101111 11001000. 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 10111111 10001000

Description
U+2FC8 Kangxi Radical Yellow is a specialized Unicode character primarily utilized in the context of Chinese characters classification, particularly within the Kangxi Dictionary system. This character serves as an indicator for the "Yellow" radical, which is one of the 537 Kangxi radicals used to categorize and facilitate the understanding of Chinese characters. The Kangxi Dictionary, compiled by the Qing dynasty scholar Lei Din-Tao during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, remains an influential resource for Chinese language studies even today. U+2FC8 Kangxi Radical Yellow plays a crucial role in this system by identifying and grouping characters that incorporate this specific radical, promoting efficient learning and communication within the vast scope of the Chinese language.
