Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳹ has the Unicode code point U+2CF9. 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+2CF9 to binary:
00101100 11111001. 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 10111001

Description
The character U+2CF9, COPTIC OLD NUBIAN FULL STOP, is a vital component of the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent every character used in written languages globally. This specific character serves as a punctuation mark in the Old Nubian script, an ancient language that originated in the Kingdom of Nobatia, one of the four duchies of the medieval Christian Nubian kingdoms located in modern-day Sudan and Egypt. The Old Nubian Full Stop (U+2CF9) is primarily used in digital text to denote the end of a sentence or thought in Old Nubian script, similar to how a period, comma, or semicolon functions in English or other languages. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and readability of texts written in this unique linguistic system, allowing scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts to study and engage with this important part of human history.
