Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱖ has the Unicode code point U+2C56. 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+2C56 to binary:
00101100 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+2C56, also known as Glagolitic Small Letter Yo, is a character from the Unicode Standard that holds a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the Cyrillic script family. The Glagolitic alphabet was developed in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius to transcribe the Slavonic languages. In modern usage, this character is mainly employed for the accurate representation of Old Church Slavonic texts that were written using the Glagolitic script. Although Glagolitic Small Letter Yo does not have widespread usage in contemporary digital communication, it remains an essential symbol for scholars and enthusiasts studying the history and cultural significance of Slavic languages and their scripts.
