Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱜ has the Unicode code point U+2C2C. 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+2C2C to binary:
00101100 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+2C2C is a typographical character known as the Glagolitic Capital Letter Shtapic (Გ). As part of the Unicode standard, it plays a crucial role in digital text representation, particularly for languages that use unique alphabets, such as the ancient Glagolitic script. This particular character was historically used within the Slavic culture, specifically in the early medieval period when the Glagolitic alphabet was developed. It is significant due to its association with Saints Cyril and Methodius, who played a pivotal role in introducing Christianity to the Slavic world and creating the Glagolitic script. Today, U+2C2C serves as an essential tool for preserving historical texts and promoting cultural awareness of these ancient scripts.
