Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱐ has the Unicode code point U+2C20. 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+2C20 to binary:
00101100 00100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2C20, known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER YERI, is a crucial element in the digital representation of Glagolitic script. In this unique writing system, developed in the 9th century by Cyril and Methodius, each letter has a specific phonetic value and visual appearance. The Glagolitic script was initially used for Old Church Slavonic, but later evolved to serve as a precursor for modern Slavic alphabets. U+2C20 holds significance in the digital world for its role in enabling accurate and efficient encoding of texts written in this ancient script. Its inclusion in Unicode, the standard system for character encoding, underscores the importance of preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and historical heritage.
