Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲭ has the Unicode code point U+2CAC. 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+2CAC to binary:
00101100 10101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+2CAC is the Unicode code point for COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER KHI, which represents the consonantal sound /k/ in the Coptic language. This script was used by the ancient Egyptians to write their religious and literary texts in the Coptic language, a variant of the ancient Egyptian language that evolved from the late period Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Coptic language is mainly used today by the native Coptic Christians in Egypt as a liturgical language. In digital text, U+2CAC is utilized to accurately represent this unique character in various applications such as word processing software, websites, and document formatting systems. Its usage helps preserve the cultural and historical significance of the Coptic language by maintaining its distinct features in written form.
