Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱒ has the Unicode code point U+2C52. 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+2C52 to binary:
00101100 01010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2C52 is known as the Glagolitic Small Letter Spidery HA. It belongs to the Glagolitic script, which originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century. This unique script was created by Saints Cyril and Methodius, who developed it from the Greek alphabet. The Glagolitic script played a significant role in the spread of Christianity throughout Eastern Europe and Slavic regions. In digital text, U+2C52 is used to represent the Glagolitic Small Letter Spidery HA, allowing for accurate transcription and representation of ancient texts and historical documents written in this script. The term "Spidery" refers to the specific style or variation of this letter, which may have been used by a particular scribe or within a specific time period. While the Glagolitic script is no longer widely used for modern writing systems, it remains an essential tool for researchers and scholars studying ancient Slavic languages, literature, and history. The inclusion of U+2C52 in the Unicode Standard ensures that this important aspect of cultural and linguistic heritage can be accurately preserved and shared digitally.
