Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2EFC. 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+2EFC to binary:
00101110 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2EFC, also known as the "COMMA ABOVE SMALL LETTER L" (CHARACTER 2EFC), is a glyph used primarily in digital text for various typographical purposes. It is often utilized to denote a comma-like pause above a lowercase letter, specifically the letter 'l'. This character plays a crucial role in transcribing certain linguistic structures, such as those found in specific cultural or regional language systems. Although its usage is relatively rare, it serves an important function for accurate representation of these unique language constructs. As a result, U+2EFC has become an essential part of typography and digital text composition to preserve and convey the nuances of certain languages that incorporate this particular character.
