Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ŧ has the Unicode code point U+0167. 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+0167 to binary:
00000001 01100111
. 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:
11000101 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0167, known as the Latin Small Letter T with Stroke, is a typographical representation that plays a vital role in digital text communication, particularly in areas where linguistic diversity is prevalent. This unique character serves as an alternative form of the lowercase letter 't' and is commonly used in various languages to enhance legibility or provide a distinct visual appeal. U+0167's usage can be traced back to its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, a coding system designed to represent characters from all written languages. Its distinctive feature—a vertical stroke through the letter 't'—sets it apart from other lowercase 't' variants and helps to differentiate specific regional dialects or scripts. As digital communication continues to evolve, U+0167 remains an essential element in preserving linguistic identity and ensuring that text accurately represents its intended meaning across diverse cultures and languages.
