Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱎ has the Unicode code point U+2C1E. 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+2C1E to binary:
00101100 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C1E represents the Glagolitic Capital Letter Sha (Г), a letter from the Glagolitic script. This ancient alphabet was developed in the 9th century by the Slavic monk Saint Cyril and his students, and it was the first alphabetic writing system used for the Old Church Slavonic language. In digital text, U+2C1E serves as a means of accurately encoding Glagolitic texts for display, preserving their historical and cultural significance. The letter Sha (Г) represents the voiced postalveolar fricative sound /ʃ/. Although Glagolitic was primarily used for religious purposes due to its association with Slavic liturgy, it also played a role in the development of later Cyrillic scripts used in various modern Slavic languages.
