Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱊ has the Unicode code point U+2C1A. 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+2C1A to binary:
00101100 00011010
. 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 10011010

Description
U+2C1A Glagolitic Capital Letter Pe is a typographical character derived from the Glagolitic script, which was the first alphabet used for written Slavic languages. This character plays a vital role in digital text by representing the Glagolitic capital letter "П" or "Pe", one of the 40 letters in this ancient writing system. The Glagolitic script, created in the 9th century, is associated with Saints Cyril and Methodius, who were instrumental in spreading Christianity among Slavic peoples. In contemporary digital text usage, U+2C1A facilitates accurate representation of texts in Old Church Slavonic or other Glagolitic-based languages, allowing for a more authentic and culturally sensitive communication. The character is vital for scholars, historians, and linguists who study the history and evolution of Slavic languages and scripts.
