Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2EF9. 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+2EF9 to binary:
00101110 11111001
. 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 10111001

Description
U+2EF9 is a less common Unicode character code that represents a specific symbol used in digital text. While it doesn't have a widely recognized name or symbol, it plays an essential role in various specialized digital formats, particularly in typography and programming contexts. Its usage can be found in certain niche applications where unique symbols are needed for specific purposes, such as marking specific types of content or serving as placeholders for yet-to-be-defined characters. Despite its limited use, U+2EF9 serves a critical function in digital text representation, demonstrating the vast and diverse nature of Unicode's character set.
