Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱌ has the Unicode code point U+2C4C. 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+2C4C to binary:
00101100 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C4C, known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER TSI, holds significant importance in the realm of digital text, particularly for those studying or working with the Glagolitic script. This character is one of the 24 letters of the Glagolitic alphabet, which was used primarily in the Slavic languages during the early Middle Ages. U+2C4C specifically represents the sound /t͡s/ and plays a crucial role in transcribing Old Church Slavonic texts accurately. The Glagolitic script is not only important for linguists but also holds historical and cultural significance, as it was instrumental in the preservation of Slavic languages during times when Latin or Cyrillic scripts were not widely used. Today, U+2C4C contributes to the digital documentation and study of ancient Slavic manuscripts, ensuring that these historical texts are preserved for future generations.
