Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱕ has the Unicode code point U+2C55. 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+2C55 to binary:
00101100 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2C55, known as the "Glagolitic Small Letter Small Yus with Tail," holds a significant position in the realm of typography, specifically within the Glagolitic script. This script is one of the oldest Slavic writing systems, originating in the 9th century and primarily used for Old Church Slavonic language. The Glagolitic Small Letter Small Yus with Tail (Глъ) features a unique shape characterized by its small yus base with an additional tail extending from its right side. In digital text, this character serves as an essential element for accurate representation of texts written in the Glagolitic script. Its presence is crucial for preserving the historical and cultural context of documents penned in this ancient writing system. Additionally, U+2C55 plays a critical role in linguistic studies, enabling scholars to examine and analyze the evolution of the Slavic languages throughout history. While U+2C55 might seem obscure to those unfamiliar with Glagolitic script, it represents an important aspect of the rich cultural heritage associated with Old Church Slavonic literature and its influence on the development of modern Slavic languages such as Bulgarian, Russian, and Ukrainian. The continued use and support for characters like U+2C55 highlight the importance of preserving historical scripts in digital environments to ensure their longevity and understanding for future generations.
