Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲅ has the Unicode code point U+2C84. 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+2C84 to binary:
00101100 10000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+2C84 COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA is a typographic character used in the Coptic alphabet, which is primarily associated with the Coptic language spoken by the native inhabitants of Egypt during the Coptic period. This character holds significant importance within its linguistic context as it represents the consonantal sound 'g' or 'k'. In digital text, U+2C84 serves as a crucial component for encoding and displaying texts in the Coptic language accurately, facilitating communication, documentation, and research. The Coptic script is of great cultural significance as it is one of the earliest forms of writing systems to use an abugida structure, which later evolved into the modern alphabetical scripts used today.
