Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2FDD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 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+2FDD to binary:
00101111 11011101
. 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 10111111 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2FDD is a less commonly known symbol, often referred to as the 'CHARACTER 2FDD'. It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in certain programming languages and computer systems. Though it may not be widely recognized by most people due to its rarity in typical text usage, it holds importance in technical contexts such as Unicode-related discussions or specialized software development scenarios. Its specific function and applications are generally confined to these niche domains. Despite its limited usage, U+2FDD remains an integral part of the expansive Unicode system, demonstrating the vast diversity and inclusivity of digital text representation.
