Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱙ has the Unicode code point U+2C29. 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+2C29 to binary:
00101100 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2C29 represents the "Glagolitic Capital Letter Ioatated Big Yus" (Гь), a letter in the Glagolitic script, which was created by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century for the Slavic languages. This script is of significant historical and cultural importance, as it played a crucial role in the development of early Slavic literatures, including the translation of religious texts. The Glagolitic script has been used mainly for the Old Church Slavonic language and was later replaced by Cyrillic. Today, the U+2C29 character is primarily used in digital text for typography and design purposes, particularly when representing or discussing historical scripts and Glagolitic literature.
