Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰴ has the Unicode code point U+2C04. 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+2C04 to binary:
00101100 00000100
. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C04 represents the Glagolitic Capital Letter Dobro (ᰄ), which is a letter in the Glagolitic script. This script was developed in the 9th century by the Slavic monk Saint Cyril, also known as Constantine the Philosopher, for the purpose of translating religious texts into Old Church Slavonic. The Glagolitic script is significant because it laid the groundwork for the development of other Slavic scripts, including Cyrillic, which is widely used today in various languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and many others. In digital text, U+2C04 serves as a typographical representation of the Glagolitic Capital Letter Dobro. Its inclusion in digital media allows for more accurate representation and display of historical documents and texts that utilize the Glagolitic script. This character is essential for those studying Slavic languages, history, or cultural studies to gain insight into the early development of writing systems within these linguistic groups. The Glagolitic script's cultural significance lies in its role as a foundational element of several modern alphabets and its use in various religious texts and manuscripts. The use of U+2C04 in digital text contributes to the preservation and appreciation of this historically rich writing system.
