Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳱ has the Unicode code point U+2CF1. 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+2CF1 to binary:
00101100 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+2CF1 represents the COPTIC COMBINING SPIRITUS LENIS. This character is primarily used in digital text to modify other characters by adding a soft "l" sound. Specifically, it is utilized in Coptic language typography to create a palatalized or "soft" pronunciation of certain consonants. The COPTIC COMBINING SPIRITUS LENIS is an essential component in the accurate representation of the Coptic language, which was spoken by the native inhabitants of Egypt during the period of Late Antiquity. It plays a critical role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Coptic people, as well as facilitating academic research on this ancient language.
