Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱋ has the Unicode code point U+2C1B. 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+2C1B to binary:
00101100 00011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+2C1B GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER SHTA is a unique Unicode character that holds significant cultural and historical importance. It represents the 15th letter of the Glagolitic alphabet, which was developed in the early 9th century AD by the Slavic missionaries Cyril and Methodius. The Glagolitic script was primarily used for writing Old Church Slavonic, a liturgical language widely employed in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Today, U+2C1B is predominantly utilized in digital text applications to preserve and promote the rich linguistic heritage of the Slavic people. Its usage is particularly relevant in academic research, historical documentation, and cultural preservation initiatives.
