Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱘ has the Unicode code point U+2C28. 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+2C28 to binary:
00101100 00101000. 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 10110000 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2C28, known as the "GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER BIG YUS," holds a significant place in digital text representation, particularly in the realm of typography and linguistics. It is primarily associated with the Glagolitic script, which was developed in the Early Middle Ages to facilitate the translation of religious texts into the Slavic languages. This script predates the Cyrillic script and was widely used in the Eastern Orthodox Church during its formative years. In digital text, U+2C28 serves as a crucial component in representing and preserving the integrity of historical documents and texts written in Glagolitic script. Its use is particularly prevalent in academic research, historical documentation, and the study of ancient Slavic languages and cultures. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital communication can accurately convey the rich linguistic heritage embodied by the Glagolitic script, thus promoting a better understanding of its cultural significance.
