Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⳡ has the Unicode code point U+2CE1. 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+2CE1 to binary:
00101100 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+2CE1 represents the 'COPTIC SMALL LETTER OLD NUBIAN NYI' in typography. This character is predominantly used in digital text to transcribe and represent Old Nubian, an extinct Afro-Asiatic language that was spoken in the Kingdom of Nubia, a region located in modern-day Sudan and southern Egypt. The Old Nubian script is based on the Coptic alphabet, which was derived from the Greek alphabet, making U+2CE1 an essential character for scholars studying ancient African linguistics and history. In digital text, this character allows for accurate representation of Old Nubian texts, facilitating research and preservation of cultural heritage.
