Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰵ has the Unicode code point U+2C05. 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+2C05 to binary:
00101100 00000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+2C05, the GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER YESTU, is a character from the Unicode Standard, specifically designed to represent the letter "Yestu" in the Glagolitic script. This ancient writing system predates the Cyrillic alphabet and was developed around the 9th century by the Slavic people of the Byzantine Empire. Primarily used for religious and liturgical texts, Glagolitic script is considered an important milestone in the history of Slavic languages and writing systems. In digital text, U+2C05 serves as a typographical representation of the Glagolitic letter Yestu, enabling users to accurately convey the unique aesthetic and cultural significance of this letter within various applications and platforms. Its usage is limited, given that Glagolitic script is primarily associated with religious texts and specific historical contexts. However, it remains an essential component for scholars, linguists, and enthusiasts studying or preserving Slavic languages and the Glagolitic script's cultural heritage.
