Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱉ has the Unicode code point U+2C49. 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+2C49 to binary:
00101100 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The character U+2C49, known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER OTU, plays a significant role in the realm of digital text, particularly within the sphere of typography and linguistics. Glagolitic script is an abugida system that was developed in the 9th century by the Slavs to transcribe Old Church Slavonic, which was the liturgical language of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Slavia. The U+2C49 character holds its importance in this historical and cultural context, as it is one of the building blocks of the Glagolitic alphabet, a script that laid the foundation for several modern-day Cyrillic scripts. The Glagolitic Small Letter Otu (У, у) primarily represents two phonemes: [ʊ] and [ʉ]. Its unique shape and structure, characterized by a horizontal line with three descending strokes and an additional vertical stroke in the middle, distinguish it from other characters in the Glagolitic alphabet. In digital text usage, U+2C49 serves as a crucial component for accurately rendering texts written in Old Church Slavonic or related languages that employ the Glagolitic script, such as Old Bulgarian and Old Croatian. Given its historical significance and ongoing use in typography and linguistics, the character U+2C49 is essential for preserving and promoting cultural heritage, fostering understanding between different communities, and facilitating communication across language barriers.
