Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰳ has the Unicode code point U+2C33. 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+2C33 to binary:
00101100 00110011
. 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 10110011

Description
U+2C33 is a character in the Unicode standard representing Glagolitic Small Letter Glagoli (Гг). This character plays a significant role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Glagolitic script, which was developed in the 9th century for Slavic languages and predominantly used for Old Church Slavonic. The Glagolitic script holds cultural significance as it is considered one of the earliest writing systems developed specifically for Slavic languages. It has a rich history tied to the spread of Christianity among Slavic peoples and its use in early Slavic literature, such as the works of Cyril and Methodius. Today, Glagolitic characters like U+2C33 are used in digital text for typography, linguistic studies, historical research, and cultural preservation purposes to maintain the integrity and continuity of this ancient script system.
