Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱛ has the Unicode code point U+2C2B. 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+2C2B to binary:
00101100 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Glagolitic Capital Letter Izhitsa (U+2C2B) holds significant importance in the field of Unicode and typography. It is a character from the Glagolitic script, one of the oldest Slavic writing systems, primarily used for transcribing Old Church Slavonic. This particular letter represents the /i/ sound. Though its usage in digital text is limited due to the rarity of Glagolitic in contemporary language use, it remains a critical element in historical linguistic and cultural preservation efforts. The Glagolitic script was created by the Byzantine missionary Cyril and his brother Methodius in the 9th century, significantly influencing Slavic literatures and languages. Today, the Izhitsa character is mainly found in typeface collections and digital archives that showcase ancient scripts for educational purposes or typography enthusiasts.
