Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʌ has the Unicode code point U+028C. 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+028C to binary:
00000010 10001100. 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+028C is known as the "LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED V." This particular typographic symbol plays a significant role in digital text, specifically in linguistic contexts where it represents a distinct letter or part of a word. Unlike many other alphabetical characters that are derived from the Latin script, the U+028C character is unique in its shape, as it resembles an inverted "V" or a stylized "v" turned on its side. This distinctive appearance often denotes a specific pronunciation or phonetic difference in certain languages or dialects where this symbol is used. In digital text, U+028C is typically employed to represent the same sound as the Latin letter "V," but with an altered articulation or phonetic variation. Its usage may vary across different languages and alphabets, particularly in those derived from Latin, where it can signify a separate, unique sound or function. The character may also appear in typographic or design contexts to add visual interest, as its stylized "v" shape adds an element of flair or creativity to the text. However, it is essential to note that the accurate usage and interpretation of U+028C depend on the specific linguistic or cultural context in which it appears.
