Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲓ has the Unicode code point U+2C92. 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+2C92 to binary:
00101100 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
U+2C92 is a unique and culturally significant character within the Unicode system. It represents the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER IAUDA (U+2C92), which holds importance in digital text particularly for those studying or working with the ancient Coptic language. This particular letter is essential to preserve the linguistic and historical accuracy of texts written in the Coptic script, a writing system used primarily in Egypt from the 1st century AD through to the 18th century AD. The Coptic script itself has its roots in the Greek alphabet, having been adapted over time, and is known for being one of the earliest documented scripts in Africa. In digital contexts, U+2C92 enables accurate translation, transcription, and preservation of historical documents, literature, and religious texts in Coptic, ensuring that this ancient language remains accessible to scholars and enthusiasts alike.
