Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⲏ has the Unicode code point U+2C8F. 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+2C8F to binary:
00101100 10001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+2C8F COPTIC SMALL LETTER HATE is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent the Coptic language. In this ancient Egyptian language, which was used as late as the 17th century, it serves as the lowercase version of the phonetic character HATE (U+2C8E). The Coptic alphabet is unique in that its letters can be combined with diacritics to indicate vowels and other modifications, allowing for a rich variety of written expression. U+2C8F COPTIC SMALL LETTER HATE plays an essential role in the transcription and study of Coptic manuscripts, which provide valuable insights into early Christian history and culture. By accurately encoding this character, digital text systems ensure that researchers, linguists, and scholars can access and analyze Coptic texts with precision and ease.
