Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱆ has the Unicode code point U+2C46. 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+2C46 to binary:
00101100 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C46 represents the "Glagolitic Small Letter Uku" (Г) in digital text. This Cyrillic script character is used primarily within the Glagolitic alphabet, which originated in the 9th century among the Slavs of the Eastern Alps and the Dinaric region. The Glagolitic script holds significant cultural, linguistic, and historical importance as it was the first Slavic alphabet developed by the Byzantine missionary Saint Cyril and his brother Saint Methodius for their mission to spread Christianity among the Slavs. Today, the Glagolitic script is primarily used for religious purposes in liturgical texts of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. In a digital context, U+2C46 allows for the accurate representation of historical texts and maintains the authenticity of cultural heritage through the preservation of traditional alphabets.
