Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱊ has the Unicode code point U+2C4A. 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+2C4A to binary:
00101100 01001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+2C4A is a typographic character in the Glagolitic script, which is an early Slavic alphabet. This Unicode character represents the lowercase letter "Pe", referred to as Glagolitic Small Letter Pe (Ꙑ). In digital text, it serves its role as a distinct letter within this unique writing system, primarily used for text encoding and display in software applications that support the Glagolitic script. This script has historical significance, as it was developed around the 9th century AD by the Byzantine missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius, who sought to spread Christianity among the Slavic people. Their use of the Glagolitic alphabet played a significant role in the development of various Old Church Slavonic languages, laying the foundation for modern Slavic writing systems such as the Cyrillic script. Today, U+2C4A and other Glagolitic characters contribute to the preservation and study of early Slavic culture and history, as well as aid in digital humanities research and linguistic analysis.
