Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲿ has the Unicode code point U+2CBE. 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+2CBE to binary:
00101100 10111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+2CBE is a specific Unicode character representing the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER OLD COPTIC OOU (ፐ). In digital text, this character plays an essential role in the representation of the ancient Egyptian language, Coptic. The Coptic script was used to write the liturgical and religious texts of the Coptic Church, which was founded after the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as its official religion. U+2CBE is particularly important because it represents the Old Coptic variant of the letter "OOU," which was used in earlier stages of the language before the development of the Sahidic dialect. As a result, this character holds significant linguistic and cultural value for researchers, historians, and scholars studying ancient Egyptian history, language, and religion.
