Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱋ has the Unicode code point U+2C4B. 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+2C4B to binary:
00101100 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2C4B, GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER SHTA, holds a significant place in the realm of digital typography and text encoding. This character is part of the Glagolitic script, one of the earliest Slavic writing systems developed in the 9th century by Cyril and Methodius, which laid the groundwork for modern Slavic alphabets. U+2C4B represents the "š" sound in the Glagolitic alphabet, a distinct phoneme that is crucial for accurate textual representation in digital media. In digital text, the use of U+2C4B allows for the preservation and propagation of cultural heritage, as it enables the encoding and display of Glagolitic texts accurately across various platforms and devices. This character helps maintain linguistic authenticity, ensuring that historically significant works, such as the Hvala Homilies or the Zografski Misal, are accessible to modern readers and scholars alike. Furthermore, U+2C4B's inclusion in the Unicode Standard (version 3.0) reflects its importance within the broader scope of typographical diversity and the ongoing efforts to document and preserve endangered writing systems. In summary, U+2C4B serves as an essential tool for preserving cultural heritage and linguistic accuracy in digital text, while also contributing to a more inclusive and diverse representation of global typography.
