Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CFF. 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+0CFF to binary:
00001100 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:
11100000 10110011 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+0CFF, also known as 'CHARACTER 0CFF', is a special character with a unique role in digital text encoding. This character primarily serves as a placeholder or control character in the Latin Extended-D section of the Unicode Standard, which includes characters used for various languages and scripts. U+0CFF is typically employed to represent an unassigned code point, signaling that the position has not been allocated for any specific purpose yet. In this capacity, it aids text encoders and developers in identifying gaps in the Unicode character map. While there may be limited linguistic or cultural context associated with U+0CFF, its primary significance lies within the technical realm of digital text encoding and handling.
