Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⱏ has the Unicode code point U+2C1F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2C1F to binary:
00101100 00011111
. 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 10011111

Description
U+2C1F, the Glagolitic Capital Letter Yeru, is a typographic character within Unicode that holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for those engaged with Slavic linguistics or studying ancient scripts. This character represents one of the 48 letters of the Glagolitic script, an early Cyrillic alphabet used primarily in medieval Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The Glagolitic script was created around the 9th century by the Bulgarian missionary Saint Cyril and his disciples as a means to spread Christianity among the Slavic people. U+2C1F is predominantly utilized for digital transcription of ancient texts, research on historical linguistics, and cultural preservation efforts. In modern usage, the character can also be found in Unicode-compliant fonts and text editors that support Glagolitic script.
