Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͏ has the Unicode code point U+034F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+034F to binary:
00000011 01001111
. 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:
11001101 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+034F, known as the COMBINING GRAPHEME JOINER (CGJ), plays a crucial role in digital text processing. This character is used to combine individual characters or symbols into a single entity, enabling seamless transition between different scripts or character sets. In linguistic terms, it helps bridge language gaps by allowing the amalgamation of characters from various languages within the same text string. It's widely employed in Unicode normalization processes, particularly in the Normalization Form KC (NFKC) and Normalization Form KD (NFKD), where it aids in resolving text ambiguity and ensuring accurate character representation. Despite its technical nature, the COMBINING GRAPHEME JOINER is an indispensable tool for achieving consistent and error-free digital text handling across diverse languages and scripts.
