Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2EFF. 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+2EFF to binary:
00101110 11111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+2EFF, or the character 2EFF, holds a unique position within the vast landscape of Unicode characters. This enigmatic symbol doesn't have a specific role in digital text and isn't assigned to any particular cultural or linguistic context. Its typical usage remains obscure due to its cryptic nature. However, it's crucial to note that Unicode, which includes U+2EFF as part of its character set, serves as the universal standard for representing text in computing systems. It enables efficient communication and data exchange across diverse platforms, languages, and applications. Thus, even though 2EFF doesn't carry any distinctive function or cultural significance, it still contributes to the larger purpose of Unicode - promoting seamless digital communication worldwide.
