Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⲹ has the Unicode code point U+2CB9. 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+2CB9 to binary:
00101100 10111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2CB9, COPTIC SMALL LETTER DIALECT-P KAPA, holds significant importance in the realm of typography and digital text. This character is part of the Coptic script, which was used to write the Coptic language, the last stage of the ancient Egyptian language. In its typical usage or role, U+2CB9 represents a specific sound or phoneme within the Coptic language, contributing to the formation of words and sentences in this unique linguistic system. The Coptic script is particularly notable for its cultural and linguistic context, as it served as the means for transcribing Christian religious texts after the decline of Ancient Egyptian in the 4th century AD. The COPTIC SMALL LETTER DIALECT-P KAPA character specifically is one of a series of modified Coptic letters that were developed to accommodate phonological changes in the language over time. In terms of technical context, U+2CB9, like other Unicode characters, ensures that digital text can be accurately transcribed and represented across different platforms, operating systems, and devices, thereby preserving linguistic diversity and historical accuracy in the digital realm.
