Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲏ has the Unicode code point U+2C8E. 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+2C8E to binary:
00101100 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C8E is known as the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER HATE, representing a letter in the Coptic alphabet used to write the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. In digital text, it serves as an important symbol for those studying or translating Coptic texts, especially within religious contexts. The Coptic script is unique as it evolved from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and each letter has its own distinct form and sound in the Coptic language. As a result, U+2C8E plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when dealing with documents or resources related to the Coptic tradition.
