Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳾ has the Unicode code point U+2CFE. 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+2CFE to binary:
00101100 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+2CFE, known as the COPTIC FULL STOP, plays a significant role in digital typography for the Coptic language. This ancient Egyptian language, which evolved from the Old Egyptian language, is primarily used in religious contexts, particularly by Coptic Orthodox Christians. In the Coptic script, the COPTIC FULL STOP serves as a punctuation mark to indicate the end of a sentence or segment within a text. Its usage helps to maintain clarity and cohesion in written works, aiding readers in comprehending the content more effectively. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital texts in the Coptic language can be accurately represented and conveyed across various platforms and applications, preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among speakers of the language.
