Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ħ has the Unicode code point U+0126. 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+0126 to binary:
00000001 00100110
. 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+0126 is the Unicode character code for Latin Capital Letter H with Stroke, a typographic variation of the letter "H" commonly used in digital text for its unique visual appeal. This alphabetic character is used to represent the "H" sound and forms part of the standard 26 letters of the basic Latin script. In certain contexts, such as in historical texts, linguistics, or typography studies, the Latin Capital Letter H with Stroke serves a more specific purpose, differentiating it from the regular uppercase "H". This character is not widely used in everyday language but holds importance within niche fields for its distinct style and cultural significance.
