Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰱ has the Unicode code point U+2C01. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2C01 to binary:
00101100 00000001
. 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 10000001

Description
U+2C01 is a typographic character known as the Glagolitic Capital Letter Buky, which holds significant importance in digital text representation. This character is part of the Unicode Standard, an essential tool for encoding and displaying text across different languages and platforms globally. The Glagolitic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century, serving as a means to write Old Church Slavonic, a liturgical language of the Eastern Orthodox Church. U+2C01 is one of the 48 characters in the Glagolitic block (U+2C00-U+2C5F) and is often used for digital typesetting or transcription of Glagolitic texts, reflecting its cultural and historical significance. In modern use, the character primarily serves to maintain linguistic accuracy, support language preservation efforts, and facilitate research on the Glagolitic script's history and development.
