Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2EF7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2EF7 to binary:
00101110 11110111
. 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 10111011 10110111

Description
U+2EF7 is a relatively obscure character in the Unicode standard. It has not been widely adopted in digital text, making its typical usage or role difficult to determine. However, as a Unicode character, it holds the potential for use in various contexts depending on the specific requirements of the software or system employing it. There are no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts associated with U+2EF7, as its lack of widespread usage means that it has not yet established any significant presence in these areas. It is possible that in the future, U+2EF7 could find a specific use case or become part of an emerging language or coding system. For now, its role and purpose remain uncertain.
