Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱄ has the Unicode code point U+2C44. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2C44 to binary:
00101100 01000100
. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C44 represents the Glagolitic Small Letter Slovо (Г). This character is a part of the Glagolitic script, which was the first Slavic alphabet developed in the 9th century by the Byzantine missionary Saint Cyril and his disciples. The Glagolitic script played a significant role in the spread of Christianity among the Slavic peoples and is considered a milestone in the development of Slavic languages. U+2C44, or Г, is used primarily in digital text to represent the Glagolitic small letter Slovо in various applications that support Unicode character encoding, such as web pages, documents, and software programs. As part of the Glagolitic script, this character contributes to the preservation and promotion of the rich cultural heritage of the Slavic peoples.
