Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱔ has the Unicode code point U+2C54. 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+2C54 to binary:
00101100 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
U+2C54, also known as the Glagolitic Small Letter Small Yus, is a typographical character predominantly used in digital text for its role within the Glagolitic script. This ancient writing system originated from the 9th century and was mainly utilized for Slavonic languages such as Old Church Slavonic. The Glagolitic script has a rich cultural significance, as it played an essential part in the spread of Christianity across Eastern Europe. U+2C54, specifically, represents the lowercase version of the letter "Yus" (Ы) and holds importance in maintaining the uniqueness and authenticity of historical texts. In modern digital typography, this character is used to preserve traditional Glagolitic literature, allowing readers access to a valuable piece of Slavonic linguistic history.
