Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲛ has the Unicode code point U+2C9A. 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+2C9A to binary:
00101100 10011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+2C9A COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER NI is a specialized character from the Unicode Standard, used to represent the 13th letter of the Coptic alphabet in digital text. The Coptic language, spoken primarily by the Coptic Orthodox Church community in Egypt and Sudan, originated from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, which eventually evolved into the Coptic script. This script was used to transcribe the Classical Egyptian language, as well as the liturgical texts of the Coptic Church. In the digital realm, U+2C9A serves a crucial role in preserving the cultural heritage and religious traditions of these communities by allowing accurate representation of their unique scripts in various forms of media, such as websites, documents, and software applications. As more people become aware of the rich history and significance of the Coptic language, there is an increasing demand for digital resources that support its proper usage and interpretation.
