Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱓ has the Unicode code point U+2C53. 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+2C53 to binary:
00101100 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2C53, also known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER YU, is a crucial element in the Glagolitic script, an early Slavonic alphabet that originated in the 9th century. This script was developed by the Byzantine missionaries Saints Cyril and Methodius for their translation of religious texts into Old Church Slavonic. U+2C53 represents the phoneme /j/ or a semi-vowel sound, and it is primarily used in digital text to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Slavic languages. Although Glagolitic script is no longer in common use, its study remains significant for historical and linguistic purposes, providing valuable insights into the development of writing systems and the evolution of Slavic languages. In addition, U+2C53 contributes to preserving the legacy of the Glagolitic script, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate this unique and important aspect of Slavic culture.
