Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2CF6. 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+2CF6 to binary:
00101100 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+2CF6 is a rare and unique character in the Unicode standard. It is not assigned to any specific language or script, making its typical usage or role in digital text quite limited. However, it serves as an important element in certain technical contexts, primarily within specialized software applications that require a wide range of characters for diverse purposes. The character itself may also be used in typography for artistic or experimental projects, showcasing the vast array of symbols available in the Unicode standard. While U+2CF6 does not have a direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, its presence demonstrates the richness and inclusivity of the Unicode system, which strives to accommodate characters from various languages, scripts, and traditions around the world.
