Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰱ has the Unicode code point U+2C31. 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+2C31 to binary:
00101100 00110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+2C31 GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER BUKY is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, representing the lowercase version of the Glagolitic script's Ь (Buky) letter. This alphabet was created in the 9th century by Cyril and Methodius, based on Greek models, for translating Christian religious texts into Slavic languages. As such, U+2C31 holds significant historical and cultural value within the Orthodox Church and Slavic-speaking communities. In digital text, U+2C31 serves to accurately represent this letter's form in Unicode-compatible applications, enabling consistent display and preserving the integrity of Glagolitic texts. This character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard fosters cross-cultural understanding and respect for diverse linguistic traditions by facilitating accurate digital representation of scripts from various historical periods and regions.
