Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱞ has the Unicode code point U+2C2E. 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+2C2E to binary:
00101100 00101110
. 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 10101110
GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER LATINATE MYSLITE·U+2C2E

Description
The Unicode character U+2C2E represents the "Glagolitic Capital Letter Latinate Myslite" in the Glagolitic script, a writing system used for the Old Church Slavonic language during the 9th to 15th centuries. This character is essential in digital text to preserve and showcase the historical and cultural significance of Glagolitic script, which has been inscribed on monuments such as the Vyšhrad Wall in Prague and the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev. Its usage helps maintain linguistic accuracy for scholars, historians, and those interested in Slavonic languages and their cultural heritage. In modern typography, it is primarily used for academic or informational purposes to represent specific Glagolitic letters that may not be included in standard font sets, showcasing the rich diversity of global writing systems.
