Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ฤ has the Unicode code point U+011E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+011E to binary:
00000001 00011110
. 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+011E, the Latin Capital Letter G with Breve (๐), is a typographical character used in various applications of digital text. It serves to represent a capital "G" with a breve accent, which is an uppercase letter in certain regional or historical alphabets. The breve is a diacritical mark that resembles a small horizontal line beneath the letter, and it may be used to distinguish the sound of "G" from other similar letters or to emphasize its syllable-final position. This character is particularly important in linguistic contexts where the distinction between long and short vowels or consonants is essential for meaning and pronunciation. The Latin Capital Letter G with Breve has been utilized in languages such as Old Norse, Middle Irish, and certain regional dialects of Spanish, among others. In terms of technical considerations, U+011E adheres to the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the consistent encoding and representation of text across different digital platforms and devices. This ensures accurate communication and preservation of textual information for users around the world who may rely on this character for specific language or cultural purposes.
