Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱍ has the Unicode code point U+2C1D. 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+2C1D to binary:
00101100 00011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2C1D, also known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER CHRIVI, is a vital symbol in the Glagolitic script. This ancient writing system, originating from the 9th century, was primarily used for liturgical and literary purposes within the Eastern Slavic region, particularly among the Slavs residing under the Bulgarian Empire's influence. In digital text, U+2C1D plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and promoting understanding of the rich history associated with the Glagolitic alphabet. The character is also essential for scholars studying the evolution of writing systems and the linguistic development of Slavic languages. Overall, U+2C1D represents an important element in maintaining and exploring the unique cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts tied to the Glagolitic script.
