Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʭ has the Unicode code point U+02AD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+02AD to binary:
00000010 10101101. 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:
11001010 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+02AD, known as the Latin Letter Bidental Percussive, is a rarely used letter primarily found in the Old Italic script. In digital text, it serves as a representative of the bidentalis, an ancient type of Roman or Etruscan punch tool used for striking and creating letters on wooden surfaces. Although its usage is limited in modern typography, it holds importance in the study of historical scripts, typographical history, and linguistics. The Latin Letter Bidental Percussive demonstrates the evolution of writing systems and provides insight into ancient techniques employed for creating text.
