Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱑ has the Unicode code point U+2C21. 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+2C21 to binary:
00101100 00100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+2C21 is a typographical character known as the Glagolitic Capital Letter Yati. In digital text, it serves as a symbol of the Glagolitic script, which was created in the 9th century for the Old Church Slavonic language. The Glagolitic script played a crucial role in the history and development of Slavic languages and was employed by the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius to translate religious texts into Slavic languages. Today, this character is primarily used for historical and linguistic purposes, as well as in typography projects that aim to preserve or showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Slavic peoples.
