Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱐ has the Unicode code point U+2C50. 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+2C50 to binary:
00101100 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2C50, also known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER YERI, holds a significant position in the realm of digital text representation. As part of the Glagolitic script, which dates back to the 9th century, this character is integral to the representation of the Old Church Slavonic language. This ancient script, developed by the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius, played a crucial role in shaping the cultural and linguistic landscape of Slavic countries. The Glagolitic script is particularly noteworthy for its use in religious texts, such as the translation of the Bible into Old Church Slavonic, which facilitated the spread of Christianity among Slavic-speaking populations. Today, the digital representation of characters like GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER YERI (U+2C50) in Unicode allows for accurate and accessible preservation of this rich cultural and linguistic heritage within the context of modern communication platforms and technologies.
