Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱜ has the Unicode code point U+2C5C. 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+2C5C to binary:
00101100 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C5C, known as the Glagolic Small Letter Shhtapic, holds significant importance within the realm of typography and digital text. As a distinctive letter from the ancient Glagolitic script, it has played an essential role in the preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage, particularly for Slavic languages such as Old Church Slavonic. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation in digital texts, enabling researchers and scholars to access and study historical documents with greater ease. The Glagolitic script, which predates Cyrillic and is credited to the brothers Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century, serves as a testament to the rich history of Slavic language development. As such, the Glagolic Small Letter Shhtapic symbolizes not only linguistic evolution but also the broader cultural context that has shaped the Slavic world.
