Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⰶ has the Unicode code point U+2C06. 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+2C06 to binary:
00101100 00000110
. 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 10000110

Description
U+2C06 is the Unicode code point for GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER ZHIVETE, a character from the Glagolitic script. The Glagolitic script is an ancient Slavic alphabet, originating in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century. It was created by the Byzantine missionary Cyril and his brother Methodius. GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER ZHIVETE typically represents a voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/) in digital texts written in Glagolitic, which is used predominantly for liturgical purposes within the Serbian Orthodox Church and among Bulgarian Slavists. Due to its historical significance and cultural importance, GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER ZHIVETE plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic heritage of South Slavic languages.
