Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⳉ has the Unicode code point U+2CC8. 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+2CC8 to binary:
00101100 11001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+2CC8 represents the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER AKHMIMIC KHEI in digital text. This letter is a crucial component of the Coptic alphabet, which was used to write the liturgical and everyday language of the Coptic Church in Egypt after the 5th century AD. The Coptic script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant-vowel combination. In the Coptic alphabet, letters carry both consonantal and vowel information. U+2CC8 specifically represents the sound 'kh' when it stands alone or 'khe' when followed by a vowel sign. Its typical usage in digital text is to transcribe and represent Coptic text from various historical manuscripts and documents, contributing to the preservation of this ancient language and culture. The COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER AKHMIMIC KHEI holds significant linguistic and cultural importance, as it serves as a connection between the classical Egyptian and Greek languages, reflecting Egypt's rich history and its unique contributions to world literature and scripture.
