Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⲟ has the Unicode code point U+2C9F. 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+2C9F to binary:
00101100 10011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+2C9F, known as COPTIC SMALL LETTER O, plays a significant role in the encoding of digital text related to the Coptic language. As part of the Coptic alphabet, this specific character is used to represent the phoneme /o/ in various contexts within written texts. The Coptic script is an abugida system that has been in use since ancient times, primarily for writing Egyptian Christian texts. Its unique design and usage are attributed to the fact that it was derived from the Greek alphabet, which itself evolved from the Phoenician script. In digital text encoding, U+2C9F helps maintain the integrity of original Coptic manuscripts and facilitates their accurate representation in modern computing systems. As a result, this character contributes to the preservation and study of the rich history and cultural heritage associated with the Coptic language and its literature.
