Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱕ has the Unicode code point U+2C25. 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+2C25 to binary:
00101100 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+2C25, also known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER SMALL YUS WITH TAIL, holds significant importance in digital text, particularly within the realm of typography and language representation. This specific glyph is unique to Glagolitic, an ancient script that originated in the 9th century among Slavic peoples and played a crucial role in the development of early Slavic literatures. The Glagolitic script is widely celebrated for its distinctive style, characterized by its angular forms, which differ substantially from modern Latin script. In digital text, U+2C25 serves as an essential component for accurate and culturally-sensitive representation of texts written in Glagolitic. This character, like others within the script, enables users to input and display historical documents, religious texts, and other materials originally composed using Glagolitic. Its usage is particularly prominent in digital humanities projects that focus on the study of Slavic history, culture, and linguistics. Despite its antiquated origins, U+2C25 remains a vital part of modern typography, as it facilitates the accurate representation and preservation of Glagolitic texts. The character's inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates a commitment to supporting a diverse range of scripts and languages, reflecting the growing global awareness of the importance of preserving linguistic heritage for future generations.
