Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰸ has the Unicode code point U+2C08. 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+2C08 to binary:
00101100 00001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+2C08, GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER ZEMLJA, is a crucial element in the Glagolitic script, which was the first Slavic alphabet developed in the 9th century. This script played a significant role in the spread of Christianity and education among Slavic people. U+2C08 is primarily used in digital text to represent the sound 'z' in the Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian languages, which are part of the South Slavic group within the broader Slavic language family. In a cultural context, Glagolitic script holds immense historical importance as it was used by Saints Cyril and Methodius for translating sacred texts into Slavonic during their missionary work in Great Moravia. This alphabet laid the foundation for future Slavic scripts like Cyrillic, which is still widely used today across various languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and many more. Technically, U+2C08 is part of the Glagolitic block in Unicode, containing 35 characters that represent the upper and lower case letters, digits, and punctuation marks. The inclusion of this character in digital systems ensures accurate representation and transmission of historical texts and documents written in Glagolitic script.
