Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2CF5. 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+2CF5 to binary:
00101100 11110101
. 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 10110011 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2CF5, also known as CHARACTER 2CF5, holds a unique position within the realm of typography. This particular character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs extension in the Unicode Standard, signifying its importance in digital text representation, particularly for languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its primary usage lies in representing specific characters that may not have a direct equivalent in other alphabetic or syllabic writing systems. The character U+2CF5 has no universally recognized cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its role as an individual ideograph in digital text representation. As with all Unicode characters, CHARACTER 2CF5 is integral to the accurate and inclusive representation of written communication across diverse languages and scripts, enabling a greater level of accessibility and cross-cultural understanding in our increasingly interconnected world.
