Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱗ has the Unicode code point U+2C27. 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+2C27 to binary:
00101100 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2C27, also known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER IOTATED SMALL YUS, holds a significant position in the world of digital typography and text. It represents an essential element within the Glagolitic script, which is one of the earliest Slavic writing systems developed during the 9th century. Historically, this script was primarily used for rendering Old Church Slavonic texts, playing a crucial role in religious and cultural contexts across Eastern Europe. In digital text, U+2C27 finds its purpose by allowing accurate representation of Glagolitic texts, enabling researchers, linguists, and typography enthusiasts to engage with these ancient documents more authentically. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures the preservation and accessibility of Glagolitic literature for future generations. This character is not only important for its cultural significance but also for its technical contribution to a wider range of typographic possibilities, fostering a greater appreciation for linguistic diversity and historical contexts within digital communication.
