Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɴ has the Unicode code point U+0274. 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+0274 to binary:
00000010 01110100. 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:
11001001 10110100

Description
The character U+0274 represents the Latin letter small capital N (ᚾ) in Unicode. This typographic symbol is primarily used in digital text to distinguish it from its uppercase counterpart, which is commonly found in various alphabets and typefaces. Although this specific glyph may not be as widely recognized or utilized as other characters in the Latin script, it serves an important role in typography, particularly when differentiating between capital and lowercase forms of letters for aesthetic or stylistic purposes. While U+0274 does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context, its inclusion in Unicode demonstrates the comprehensive nature of the encoding system, which aims to represent characters from a diverse range of scripts and languages around the world.
