Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱚ has the Unicode code point U+2C5A. 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+2C5A to binary:
00101100 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+2C5A is the Unicode code point for Glagolitic Small Letter Fita, a character used in the Glagolitic script. This script, developed in the 9th century by the Slavic missionary saint Cyril and his disciples in Great Moravia, played a crucial role in the history of the Slavic languages and was one of the first alphabets used for writing Old Church Slavonic, which laid the foundation for modern Slavic languages. In digital text, Glagolitic Small Letter Fita is typically used to represent the "f" sound in texts written using the Glagolitic script. Though not widely used today, it remains a significant symbol of Slavic cultural heritage and linguistic history.
