Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰴ has the Unicode code point U+2C34. 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+2C34 to binary:
00101100 00110100
. 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 10110100

Description
U+2C34, the Glagolitic Small Letter Dobro, is a typographic character within the Unicode standard, which plays a crucial role in digital text representation. This character is specifically designed to be part of the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet that originated in the 9th century among the followers of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Great Moravia. The Glagolitic script was widely used for religious and scholarly purposes in various Slavic regions during the Middle Ages. In contemporary digital text, U+2C34 serves to accurately represent and convey the historical context of the Glagolitic script in digital platforms, fostering the preservation and study of this ancient writing system. By utilizing U+2C34, typographers, linguists, and researchers can maintain an authentic representation of Glagolitic text while also ensuring compatibility with modern computing systems and software.
