Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱚ has the Unicode code point U+2C2A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+2C2A to binary:
00101100 00101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+2C2A, the Glagolitic Capital Letter Fita, is a typographical character with significant historical and linguistic importance. This Unicode character represents the 15th letter of the Glagolitic script, which was developed in the early 9th century by the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius for translating religious texts into Slavonic languages. The Glagolitic script played a pivotal role in the preservation and dissemination of Slavic cultural heritage during the Middle Ages, and it was instrumental in the creation of the first Slavic literary works. Today, U+2C2A is primarily used in digital text for typographical purposes or within research on ancient manuscripts, providing a valuable tool for scholars studying the history of Slavonic languages and the Glagolitic script itself.
