Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʇ has the Unicode code point U+0287. 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+0287 to binary:
00000010 10000111. 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
The Unicode character U+0287, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T," is a typographical representation of a lowercase Latin letter with a distinct turned shape. It primarily finds its application in digital text, where it serves as an alternative to the traditional lowercase 't'. Its unique form, characterized by the upward stroke on the right side of the letter, adds visual interest and variety in written content. Though not part of standard English or most Western European languages, U+0287 has been adopted in some African languages such as Igbo and Yoruba. It is also utilized in transcription systems for representing specific phonetic distinctions in various languages. Despite its limited usage, the Latin Small Letter Turned T contributes to the richness and diversity of written expression across different cultures and linguistic contexts.
