Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɀ has the Unicode code point U+2C7F. 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+2C7F to binary:
00101100 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+2C7F, the Latin Capital Letter Z with Swash Tail, is a typographical character in the Unicode standard that holds a unique role in digital text. It is often employed for aesthetic or stylistic purposes rather than linguistic, as it does not represent any specific sound or phoneme in any language. Typically used in contexts such as branding, logos, and design, this character lends an old-world charm with its flair of calligraphy. The swash tail is a flowing extension from the base letter's vertical stroke, giving it a distinct elegance that sets it apart from the standard capital Z (U+005A). Due to its rarity in regular text, it often catches the reader's eye and adds visual interest. However, it is crucial to use such stylized characters judiciously, as they can disrupt the legibility if overused or placed inappropriately.
