Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2DCF. 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+2DCF to binary:
00101101 11001111. 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 10110111 10001111

Description
U+2DCF is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically designed to serve as an uppercase Latin letter "J" with a double acute accent. This distinctive character holds significance in digital text for its ability to represent specific phonetic or cultural variations of the letter 'J' in certain languages or contexts. Although it may not be commonly used across all platforms and applications, U+2DCF plays a vital role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural nuances within texts that employ this particular form of the letter 'J'. This includes situations where a double acute accent is necessary to convey precise phonetic or morphological distinctions in specific regional dialects or languages. In these cases, U+2DCF proves to be an indispensable tool for typographers and linguists alike, ensuring clear communication and accurate representation of the intended sound or meaning within digital texts.
