Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳿ has the Unicode code point U+2CFF. 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+2CFF to binary:
00101100 11111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+2CFF, known as the Coptic Morphological Divider, is a specialized typographical element primarily used in digital text processing related to the Coptic language. In this context, the character serves as a demarcation point for morphological analysis, facilitating the segmentation of words and phrases into their constituent parts. The Coptic language, an offshoot of Ancient Egyptian spoken by the Coptic Christian community in Egypt, is written using a unique script that has its roots in the Demotic Egyptian script. U+2CFF plays a crucial role in linguistic research and computational processing of Coptic texts, enabling accurate analysis and manipulation of the language's morphological structure. By understanding the function and significance of this character, digital text specialists and researchers can better analyze and work with the rich history of the Coptic language and its unique script.
