Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⲑ has the Unicode code point U+2C90. 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+2C90 to binary:
00101100 10010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+2C90, also known as the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER THETHE, is a typographical character primarily used in digital text to represent the letter "θ" (theta) in the ancient Coptic alphabet. The Coptic language was predominantly spoken by the Egyptians during the time of the Roman Empire, and its script is derived from the Greek alphabet. In digital text, U+2C90 serves as a crucial component for accurately representing historical texts, translations, and linguistic studies of Coptic literature. This character plays a vital role in preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic history of ancient Egypt, facilitating academic research and providing insight into the unique aspects of Coptic script. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is essential to understand U+2C90's significance within digital text systems and its contribution to the accurate representation of historical and cultural information.
