Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰵ has the Unicode code point U+2C35. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2C35 to binary:
00101100 00110101
. 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 10110000 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2C35, known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER YESTU, is a vital part of the Glagolitic script used for writing Old Church Slavonic. This script was developed in the 9th century by the Byzantine missionary and scholar Cyril, also known as Saint Cyril or Constantine Cyriacus, who is credited with creating the Glagolitic alphabet. U+2C35 represents a specific sound in the Old Church Slavonic language - the 'yestu' sound. The character plays a significant role in digital text, enabling accurate representation of historical texts and supporting research in linguistics, history, and culture. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital content can maintain fidelity to its original source, facilitating communication and preservation of important cultural artifacts.
