Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȇ has the Unicode code point U+0206. 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+0206 to binary:
00000010 00000110. 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+0206, known as the Latin Capital Letter E with Inverted Breve, is a typographical variant of the letter "E". Its primary role in digital text is to provide an alternate representation for the letter "E", often used in technical or linguistic contexts where a distinct visual style is preferred. This character features an inverted breve, a diacritical mark commonly used to indicate syllable division or stress in certain languages such as Icelandic and Old Irish. In these languages, it serves an important phonetic function, helping to distinguish between similar-sounding words or emphasize the pronunciation of specific syllables. While its usage is not widespread outside of specialized contexts, U+0206 plays a valuable role in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating accurate transcription in languages where it is commonly used.
