Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱁ has the Unicode code point U+2C11. 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+2C11 to binary:
00101100 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2C11, also known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER ONU, holds significant importance in the realm of typography and digital text. This particular character belongs to the Glagolitic script, which was one of the earliest Slavic writing systems developed in the 9th century by the Byzantine missionaries, Cyril and Methodius. The Glagolitic alphabet played a crucial role in the dissemination of the Christian faith among Slavic peoples and contributed to the development of early Slavic literary tradition. U+2C11 is used to represent the phoneme /o/ or /u/, depending on its position within a word. This character can be found in digital texts related to historical linguistics, Slavic studies, and the history of writing systems. The Glagolitic script has been recognized as an important aspect of European cultural heritage and has been inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. Today, U+2C11 serves as a crucial tool for scholars and researchers who study the early history of Slavic languages and the evolution of writing systems worldwide.
