Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳮ has the Unicode code point U+2CEE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2CEE to binary:
00101100 11101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2CEE, COPTIC SMALL LETTER CRYPTOGRAMMIC GANGIA, is an important element in the digital representation of the Coptic language. The Coptic language, primarily spoken by the native people of Egypt and used as a liturgical language by the Coptic Orthodox Church, has a rich history dating back to the 1st century AD. U+2CEE, along with other Coptic script characters, plays a crucial role in digital communication by allowing users to transcribe, share, and study texts written in this ancient language. Coptic is a member of the Egyptian branch of the Afro-Asiatic languages and utilizes a unique alphabet consisting of 24 letters. Among these, U+2CEE represents the sound "g". The COPTIC SMALL LETTER CRYPTOGRAMMIC GANGIA character is part of the Coptic Unicode block, which includes characters from both the Coptic Uppercase and Lowercase scripts. Coptologists and linguists value the existence of U+2CEE in digital text for various reasons. Firstly, it ensures accurate preservation and transmission of ancient manuscripts, vital for historical research and cultural heritage protection. Secondly, it facilitates translation work by enabling scholars to work with original Coptic texts, contributing to a deeper understanding of the language's grammar, vocabulary, and historical development. In summary, U+2CEE, the COPTIC SMALL LETTER CRYPTOGRAMMIC GANGIA, is a vital character in digital text representation of the Coptic language. It serves both cultural preservation and linguistic analysis purposes by maintaining the integrity and accessibility of ancient texts for current and future generations.
