Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⳏ has the Unicode code point U+2CCE. 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+2CCE to binary:
00101100 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2CCE represents the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER OLD COPTIC HA, a letter from the ancient Coptic script used in writing Old Coptic, the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. This script is of significant historical and cultural importance, as it represents one of the earliest stages of the evolution of the modern Egyptian Arabic alphabet. In digital text, U+2CCE typically serves a role in encoding and displaying Coptic texts for scholarly purposes, such as translations, linguistic research, or religious studies. The Coptic script is unique due to its use of demotic Egyptian symbols combined with Greek letter forms, reflecting the interplay between ancient Egyptian and Hellenistic cultures. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it's crucial to understand and accurately represent such specialized scripts for preserving and promoting cultural heritage and linguistic diversity.
