Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʞ has the Unicode code point U+029E. 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+029E to binary:
00000010 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+029E, the Latin Small Letter Turned K, is a typographical character primarily used in digital texts to represent an alternate form of the letter 'K'. In certain fonts and typographic styles, this glyph represents a cursive or stylized version of the standard capital letter 'K', which may be employed for aesthetic or artistic purposes. The character has been derived from the historical development of the Latin alphabet, where various regional handwriting styles influenced the evolution of specific letters. In modern usage, U+029E is often utilized in typography to create a distinct visual appeal, differentiate text, or convey a particular mood or tone. While its application may be less common compared to the standard 'K', the Latin Small Letter Turned K still holds cultural and linguistic significance as an example of the versatility and rich history of written language expression.
