Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⳑ has the Unicode code point U+2CD0. 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+2CD0 to binary:
00101100 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2CD0 represents the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER L-SHAPED HA. In the digital world, this character is used in the representation of text in the Coptic language, which was spoken by the native inhabitants of ancient Egypt and is still used today for religious purposes by the Coptic Orthodox Church. The Coptic script is a syllabary, meaning each symbol represents a syllable rather than a single sound or letter. U+2CD0 specifically depicts the Coptic capital letter "L-SHAPED HA," which is used at the beginning of words starting with the consonant-vowel sequence "h." This character plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Copts, as well as providing linguistic clarity for scholars and learners studying the Coptic language. Its accurate representation in digital text is essential for maintaining the integrity of historical documents, literature, and religious texts within the Coptic tradition.
