Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱄ has the Unicode code point U+2C14. 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+2C14 to binary:
00101100 00010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C14, known as the Glagolitic Capital Letter Slovo, holds significant importance within the realm of digital typography and text representation. This specific character is derived from the Glagolitic script, one of the earliest writing systems used for Old Church Slavonic and later for various East Slavic languages. U+2C14 is part of a larger set of characters within Unicode that aim to maintain the cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of different scripts across the world. In digital text, Glagolitic Capital Letter Slovo (U+2C14) serves to represent a distinct consonant in the Glagolitic script. This character is predominantly used for transcribing and displaying texts that require the use of historical or traditional scripts, such as in linguistic studies, historical documentation, or cultural preservation projects. By utilizing U+2C14, digital content creators can accurately reproduce and respect the nuances of Glagolitic text, thereby contributing to the understanding and appreciation of its unique cultural significance.
