Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⳋ has the Unicode code point U+2CCA. 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+2CCA to binary:
00101100 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+2CCA (COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER DIALECT-P HORI) is a typographical character in the Unicode standard, used to represent a specific letter in the ancient Egyptian language known as Coptic. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in accurately representing and preserving the nuances of historical texts and literary works written in the Coptic script. The character is derived from the Ge'ez script, which itself has roots in the ancient Phoenician alphabet. Coptic, spoken by the Copts in Egypt during the period of Greek and Roman rule, is a significant language due to its religious and historical implications. The dialect represented by the U+2CCA character is specific to the Hor Hori region of Upper Egypt, showcasing the diversity and richness of this ancient language. This character, along with others in the Coptic script, is essential for scholars and researchers studying the history, culture, and religious practices of the Coptic community, as well as those working on translations of ancient texts. By using accurate typographical representations such as U+2CCA, digital text can provide a more faithful rendition of these historical works, preserving their original meaning and contributing to a greater understanding of this important aspect of human history.
