Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰾ has the Unicode code point U+2C0E. 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+2C0E to binary:
00101100 00001110
. 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 10001110

Description
U+2C0E, the GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER LJUDIJE, is a typographical character in Unicode with a rich cultural and historical significance. As part of the Glagolitic script, it was predominantly used in the 9th to 15th centuries for writing Old Church Slavonic, which served as a liturgical language in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Glagolitic script is the oldest known Slavic alphabet and played a pivotal role in the development of modern Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian. In digital text, U+2C0E serves its traditional purpose of representing the sound combination /lj/ within words. This character, along with other Glagolitic letters, is vital for preserving and promoting the study of Slavic languages and their historical development. Its use in digital text enables scholars and enthusiasts to accurately transcribe and translate ancient texts without loss of original meaning or intent. U+2C0E's inclusion in Unicode reflects a broader effort to preserve and celebrate the diverse linguistic heritage found across the globe. By ensuring that this character is widely recognized and utilized, we can continue to honor its historical and cultural significance while fostering an environment of inclusivity in digital communication.
