Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱂ has the Unicode code point U+2C42. 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+2C42 to binary:
00101100 01000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+2C42 is the Unicode character code for Glagolitic Small Letter Pokoji (Г), which belongs to the Glagolitic script family. This script originated in the 9th century as part of the Slavic writing system and was mainly used for liturgical purposes in medieval Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Russia. The Glagolitic Small Letter Pokoji (Г) is a Cyrillic-derived letter that represents a voiced velar plosive or an unrounded back vowel in various Slavic languages. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of these languages, as it allows for accurate representation and reproduction of historical documents and manuscripts. The Glagolitic script is considered an important milestone in the development of writing systems for Slavic languages, and its letters, including the Glagolitic Small Letter Pokoji (Г), are now included in various digital platforms and fonts to ensure their continued use and accessibility.
