*SOrry for giving half information Sir,*
I even know that I can't write the Chinese characters in ASCII.
You have misunderstood me totally sir over here.
But the thing is like I just want to know that
If I write "現年快樂" just by doing copy paste to users file
then will the things gonna work ?

As far as the HEX form is concern I mean to say that
How that character is internally stored in memory.
It has to be in binary form ri8?
So You an also interprete as equivalent HEX.
*Eg:*
*A character *stored in binary as 101001 in memory
and HEX equivalent is = 0x29
Same *B* character stored in binary in memory as 101010
and HEX equivalent is = 0x292A.

I am asking is
I have sored ∞ character in
unsigned int array like following in my RADIUS client
for sending it to FREE RADIUS server.

unsigned int array[0] = '∞';

and I have seen its hex equivalent form
by just using
printf("HEX form: 0x%x\n",array[0]);

I got the print as: *E2 88 9E*
*
*
*That's I am not able to understand that How automatically*
*'∞' symbol is stored in memory in its equivalent UTF-8 form: **E2 88 9E*
*Who does the conversion, EDITER in linux or Keybord Driver *
*itself converts to UTF-8 form?*

By Saying write in UTF-8 charcters that means do
I need to simply write in users file like following.?

*users: *
 "∞"  Auth-Type := Accept
