Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰾ has the Unicode code point U+2C3E. 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+2C3E to binary:
00101100 00111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C3E, known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER LJUDIJE, holds a unique position in the realm of digital text representation. As part of the Glagolitic script, it represents one of the earliest forms of Slavic writing systems, predominantly used for Old Church Slavonic texts during the Middle Ages. This character is significant for linguistic and cultural purposes, as it played a vital role in the preservation of ancient literature and religious documents within the Eastern Orthodox faith. U+2C3E holds particular importance in typography due to its complex structure and intricate design, which differ from other modern alphabets. It is composed of two separate characters: GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER JAT (U+2C48) and GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER DZHE (U+2C3F). These two characters merge to form the single character, U+2C3E. In digital text, it serves as a crucial element for accurately representing historical texts and maintaining the integrity of Glagolitic literature. In today's digitally connected world, accurate representation of such unique characters is vital for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts who study ancient languages and scripts. The inclusion of U+2C3E in Unicode ensures that the rich history and cultural significance of the Glagolitic script are preserved and accessible to a wider audience.
