Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰰ has the Unicode code point U+2C30. 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+2C30 to binary:
00101100 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2C30, GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER AZU, holds significant importance in the realm of digital text and typography. It is a crucial component of Glagolitic script, an ancient writing system used primarily for Old Church Slavonic language between the 9th and 15th centuries. The Glagolitic script was instrumental in preserving religious texts, literature, and cultural heritage during this period. Today, its use is mostly limited to the liturgical practices of some Eastern Orthodox churches. In digital text, U+2C30 enables accurate representation of these historical texts, promoting better accessibility and preservation for researchers and enthusiasts alike. This character and other Glagolitic script characters contribute to a deeper understanding of early Slavonic languages and the development of the Cyrillic alphabet, which is widely used across Eastern Europe and Russia today.
