Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰻ has the Unicode code point U+2C3B. 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+2C3B to binary:
00101100 00111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+2C3B, known as Glagolitic Small Letter I, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text encoding. In the Unicode Standard, it represents one of the 41 basic characters of the Glagolitic script, which originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century. This script is critical for transcribing Old Church Slavonic texts, thus playing a pivotal role in the development and propagation of Christianity across Eastern Europe. In digital text, Glagolitic Small Letter I serves as a building block for various words and phrases when using the Glagolitic script, which is now mostly confined to religious and cultural contexts. Its usage is largely preserved within these specific domains, reflecting the rich linguistic and historical heritage of Eastern Slavic languages and the broader Slavic linguistic family.
