Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲟ has the Unicode code point U+2C9E. 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+2C9E to binary:
00101100 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+2C9E is a typographical character representing the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER O in the Unicode standard. It plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation of the ancient Egyptian language, Coptic, which was primarily used in religious texts and literature during the late antique period. The COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER O is part of the larger Coptic Unicode block, which consists of 47 characters essential for preserving the unique linguistic features of this ancient language. In digital text, U+2C9E helps maintain the cultural and historical context of Coptic texts while supporting linguists, researchers, and scholars in their work with these ancient manuscripts.
