Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2CF8. 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+2CF8 to binary:
00101100 11111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+2CF8, also known as CHARACTER 2CF8, is a specific Unicode character that primarily serves a niche role within digital text. It is not part of any standard encoding set and has no designated name or widely recognized usage across languages or platforms. In the context of typography, it does not hold any cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, and as such, it does not appear in any standardized character sets or fonts. Due to its lack of defined purpose and function, CHARACTER 2CF8 is not commonly used in digital text and remains an obscure and rarely encountered character within the vast landscape of Unicode characters.
