Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰷ has the Unicode code point U+2C07. 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+2C07 to binary:
00101100 00000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2C07, known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER DZELO, is a crucial component in the Glagolitic script, which originated in the 9th century among the Slavs of the First Bulgarian Empire. This script, one of the earliest forms of written Slavic languages, predates the Cyrillic alphabet and was primarily used for religious texts. In digital text, U+2C07 maintains its function as a capital letter in this historic script, representing the phoneme /d͡ʑɛ/ in Glagolitic-based languages. The character plays a vital role in preserving and promoting Slavic cultural heritage, as well as supporting linguistic studies that analyze ancient texts. With an increasing focus on digital preservation of endangered scripts, U+2C07 and other Glagolitic characters are essential tools for scholars, historians, and linguists to accurately study and share information about the Glagolitic script and its historical context.
