Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2DAF. 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+2DAF to binary:
00101101 10101111. 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 10110110 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+2DAF, also known as "CHARACTER 2DAF", is an important symbol in the realm of typography and digital text. This particular character holds a significant role in representing unique characters for specific languages or scripts, particularly those that are not commonly used in everyday writing systems. Its primary usage lies within specialized applications, such as text encoding, where it assists in defining and delineating specific linguistic elements in various contexts. Due to its niche application, CHARACTER 2DAF is often overlooked in general discussions of typography, but it plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of digital text across multiple languages and scripts.
