Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰳ has the Unicode code point U+2C03. 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+2C03 to binary:
00101100 00000011
. 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 10000011
GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER GLAGOLI·U+2C03

Description
The Unicode character U+2C03 represents the Glagolitic Capital Letter Glagoli (ᰂ). In digital text, this character is used to represent a specific letter in the ancient Glagolitic script, which was developed in the 9th century by the Slavic people of the First Bulgarian Empire. The Glagolitic script holds significant cultural and historical value, as it played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity among Slavic peoples during the early Middle Ages. Although this script is no longer widely used in modern times, its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for the accurate representation of historical texts and preservation of linguistic heritage. The Glagolitic Capital Letter Glagoli (ᰂ) itself represents a consonant sound and holds importance within the context of Glagolitic-based languages like Old Church Slavonic. Overall, U+2C03 serves as an essential tool for digital preservation and study of ancient texts in the field of linguistics and cultural history.
