Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⲱ has the Unicode code point U+2CB1. 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+2CB1 to binary:
00101100 10110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+2CB1 represents COPTIC SMALL LETTER OOU in digital text. This particular letter is part of the Coptic alphabet used for writing the Old and Middle Egyptian language spoken by the Copts, an ancient Christian community in Egypt. The Coptic script is a direct descendant of the Demotic script and was developed during the 4th century AD. U+2CB1 is typically utilized to represent a specific phoneme or sound in written Coptic texts and plays a crucial role in transcribing, translating, and preserving historical Coptic documents for linguistic research, cultural studies, and historical preservation purposes.
