Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɺ has the Unicode code point U+027A. 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+027A to binary:
00000010 01111010. 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:

Description
U+027A, Latin Small Letter Turned R with Long Leg, is a lesser-known Unicode character that holds significance in typography and digital text representation. This glyph serves as an alternative form of the lowercase 'r' in certain typefaces, featuring a distinct, elongated leg to its right side. Its use is predominantly found within decorative, artistic, or experimental typographic contexts, where it deviates from standard Latin script conventions to achieve visual interest or emphasis. While this character may not have widespread application in everyday digital text, it remains an important element for typeface designers and those seeking to explore the full range of typographical possibilities within the Unicode standard.
