Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰽ has the Unicode code point U+2C3D. 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+2C3D to binary:
00101100 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+2C3D, the Glagolitic Small Letter Kako, is a unique character in the Unicode standard used to represent various digital text applications. This specific letter is part of the Glagolitic alphabet, which originated in the 9th century as the first Slavic writing system. The Glagolitic script was crucial in the development of Slavic literacy and played a vital role in preserving religious texts during the Middle Ages. Although not widely used today, U+2C3D retains its importance in typography for its historical significance and cultural impact on Slavic languages. In digital text, this character can be applied to display or transcribe texts from the Old Church Slavonic language or other Glagolitic-based languages, maintaining fidelity to their original appearance and context.
