Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱗ has the Unicode code point U+2C57. 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+2C57 to binary:
00101100 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2C57, also known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER IOTATED SMALL YUS, is a typographical representation used in digital text. It holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to its role in the Glagolitic alphabet, which was developed in the 9th century for Old Church Slavonic by the Byzantine missionary Cyril and his followers, known as the "Cyrillic brothers." The Glagolitic script is an important historical artifact in the evolution of Slavic languages and has been designated as a UNESCO Memory of the World. In digital text, U+2C57 serves to maintain linguistic integrity by enabling accurate representation of texts in Old Church Slavonic and other languages that utilize the Glagolitic script. Its precise usage in digital text depends on the context, such as translations, scholarly research, or cultural preservation efforts related to Slavic languages. As a specialized character, it contributes to the richness and diversity of global communication by ensuring the fidelity of historical texts and their associated linguistic traditions.
