Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱌ has the Unicode code point U+2C1C. 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+2C1C to binary:
00101100 00011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C1C, known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER TSI, holds a significant place in the realm of digital typography and linguistics. This character represents the Cyrillic script which is widely used in various languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian. In digital text, it is often utilized to maintain the authenticity and cultural integrity of these languages when transcribed into a digital format. The Glagolitic script, from which U+2C1C originates, was developed in the 9th century by the Slavic missionaries Saints Cyril and Methodius. They created this script as an attempt to transcribe the Slavic languages into written form, breaking away from the dominance of Latin and Greek scripts. This innovative script played a crucial role in the dissemination of Christianity among the Slavic peoples and significantly contributed to their cultural development. From a technical perspective, U+2C1C is part of the Glagolitic block within the Unicode Standard. The Unicode Standard, developed by the Unicode Consortium, aims at providing a unique number (code point) for every character in any language. Thus, characters like U+2C1C ensure that digital text remains accurate and faithful to its original form, irrespective of the medium or platform being used. This commitment to maintaining cultural authenticity in digital communication is what makes characters like U+2C1C so valuable in today's increasingly interconnected world.
