Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⰸ has the Unicode code point U+2C38. 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+2C38 to binary:
00101100 00111000. 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:

Description
U+2C38, the Glagolitic Small Letter Zemlja, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Glagolitic script. This character is not commonly used in modern digital text as the Glagolitic script predates the Latin alphabet and was primarily used for Old Church Slavonic texts. It finds its origins in 9th-century Bulgaria and is considered an important part of the cultural heritage of Eastern Europe. In its typical usage, the Glagolitic Small Letter Zemlja represented the consonant /z/ or /ʒ/, similar to the Latin 'Z' but with a distinct Glagolitic appearance. Although it may not play a significant role in modern digital text, the study of Glagolitic script offers valuable insights into early Slavic languages and their historical development.
