Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱞ has the Unicode code point U+2C5E. 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+2C5E to binary:
00101100 01011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C5E represents the "Glagolitic Small Letter Latinate Myslite" (Гл), which is a letter in the Glagolitic script. This script originated in the 9th century and was used primarily for writing Old Church Slavonic, the liturgical language of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Glagolitic script has great cultural significance as it marks one of the earliest instances of a written Slavic language. In digital text, U+2C5E serves as an essential character in representing and preserving the historical and cultural values embedded within texts that were originally composed using Glagolitic script. It helps maintain linguistic accuracy for those studying or working with Old Church Slavonic texts, and contributes to a comprehensive understanding of early Slavic literature and history. Although U+2C5E is not widely used in contemporary writing systems due to the evolution and adoption of other scripts like Cyrillic for modern Slavic languages, its presence in Unicode acknowledges the importance of preserving Glagolitic script's cultural and historical significance for future generations.
