Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɧ has the Unicode code point U+0267. 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+0267 to binary:
00000010 01100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0267 represents the Latin Small Letter Heng with Hook, a unique glyph that is rarely used in modern typography. This letter is primarily found in the Manuscript of the Şirvan Gospel, a medieval manuscript of the Book of Psalms, written in Old Georgian script between the 10th and 12th centuries. It was discovered in the Caucasus region and is of great cultural significance due to its historical context. The letter "heng" (ჰ) has a distinctive hook-like form at the top that distinguishes it from other Latin letters, which may contribute to its rarity in contemporary digital text. Despite this, typography enthusiasts and linguists continue to study and appreciate the unique characteristics of the U+0267, as it offers a glimpse into the rich history of written communication.
