Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱉ has the Unicode code point U+2C19. 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+2C19 to binary:
00101100 00011001
. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2C19 represents the Glagolitic capital letter "Otu," which holds significant cultural and historical importance within Slavic communities. This unique letter is used in the Glagolitic script, a writing system originating from the 9th century, primarily employed for transcribing the Old Church Slavonic liturgical language. In digital text, U+2C19 serves as an essential element in maintaining linguistic accuracy and authenticity when displaying or translating texts using the Glagolitic alphabet. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that the rich cultural heritage of the Glagolitic script is preserved for future generations while facilitating its use in modern digital communication and documentation across various platforms.
