Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲇ has the Unicode code point U+2C86. 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+2C86 to binary:
00101100 10000110. 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 10110010 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C86 represents the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER DALDA, a letter from the Coptic alphabet. This ancient script is used to write the Coptic language, which was employed by the Christian community in Egypt during the Roman period and continued into the Islamic era. The Coptic alphabet is based on the Greek alphabet and was adapted from it, and U+2C86 plays a vital role in encoding digital text for documents, websites, and applications that require the use of the Coptic language. The character's inclusion in Unicode ensures its accurate representation and preservation of its cultural and linguistic significance.
