Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱆ has the Unicode code point U+2C16. 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+2C16 to binary:
00101100 00010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+2C16 is a character from the Unicode standard that represents the Glagolitic Capital Letter Uku (Г). This specific letter holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. Primarily used in digital text, it forms part of the ancient Glagolitic alphabet which originated in the 9th century among Slavic people and was later adopted by Eastern Orthodox Christians. The Glagolitic script is named after the medieval Bulgarian church in Constantinople known as 'Glagolia' or 'Slavia'. It played a crucial role in the development of early Slavic languages, particularly Old Church Slavonic, which served as the liturgical language for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Today, U+2C16 and other Glagolitic characters are essential tools for scholars studying medieval texts, religious history, and linguistic evolution. They also aid in preserving and promoting cultural heritage by enabling accurate digital reproduction of historical documents.
