Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⲑ has the Unicode code point U+2C91. 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+2C91 to binary:
00101100 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+2C91 is a character from the Unicode standard representing the COPTIC SMALL LETTER THETHE (𐦥). This character is used in digital text to represent a lowercase letter of the Ge'ez script, which is an ancient writing system primarily used for the Ethiopian and Eritrean languages. The Ge'ez script has played a significant role in the history of these languages as well as in Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, where it was widely used for liturgical purposes. In the context of digital text, U+2C91 allows for accurate representation and preservation of historical documents, texts, and literature written in Ge'ez script. Its proper usage enhances the accessibility and understanding of these culturally significant works for both scholars and enthusiasts alike.
