Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰼ has the Unicode code point U+2C0C. 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+2C0C to binary:
00101100 00001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C0C, known as the Glagolitic Capital Letter Djervi, is a typographical representation of an uppercase letter from the ancient Slavic script called Glagolitic. This script was developed in the 9th century by the Byzantine missionary Saint Cyril and his brother Saint Methodius to translate religious texts into Old Church Slavonic, which enabled the spread of Christianity among the Slavic peoples. In digital text, U+2C0C serves as a way to represent this letter accurately within various computing systems and software applications that support the Unicode standard. The Glagolitic script is culturally significant, as it represents one of the earliest forms of written communication used by Slavic people and has contributed to the development of modern Slavic alphabets such as Cyrillic. Today, U+2C0C allows for preservation of this historical script's legacy in digital form while maintaining its accuracy and integrity in a variety of electronic communications and documentation.
