Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳼ has the Unicode code point U+2CFC. 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+2CFC to binary:
00101100 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2CFC, also known as the COPTIC OLD NUBIAN VERSE DIVIDER, plays a significant role in digital text by dividing verses within texts written in the Old Nubian language, which was historically spoken in the ancient Kingdom of Nubia. This character is crucial for preserving the integrity of the text and ensuring accurate interpretation, as it separates individual verses while maintaining the continuity of the narrative or discourse. The Old Nubian script, based on the Coptic alphabet, is a vital aspect of Nubian culture and linguistic history, shedding light on the ancient civilization that once flourished along the Nile River. By incorporating U+2CFC into digital text encoding, it facilitates the accessibility and preservation of these culturally significant texts for future generations to study and appreciate.
