Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱍ has the Unicode code point U+2C4D. 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+2C4D to binary:
00101100 01001101. 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 10110001 10001101

Description
U+2C4D is a character from the Glagolitic script, which belongs to the Unicode Standard for encoding characters in digital text. The character represents the letter 'Chrivi' (Г), a small letter in the Glagolitic alphabet. This alphabet was used primarily for writing Old Church Slavonic, an early form of the East Slavic languages. Its usage is predominantly found in religious texts and historical documents from the period of its use between the 9th and 15th centuries. Although Glagolitic is no longer in common use today, it holds a significant place in the history of written language, especially for Eastern European Slavic languages. The character U+2C4D maintains cultural and linguistic importance as it represents a unique aspect of Slavic literary tradition, serving as an emblem of the Glagolitic script's historical and religious significance.
