Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǥ has the Unicode code point U+01E4. 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+01E4 to binary:
00000001 11100100. 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 character U+01E4, Latin Capital Letter G with Stroke, is a typographical symbol that holds importance in various digital text applications. Its primary role lies in representing the G sound in certain languages, specifically those of the Latin script family, where it often appears in capitalized form. This unique letter features a vertical stroke through the center, which distinguishes it from the standard G. The stroke is typically placed through the horizontal line of the letter, giving it an aesthetic appeal and enhancing its legibility in digital text formats. In certain linguistic and cultural contexts, U+01E4 has been used to represent specific phonetic characteristics not found in other Latin-derived alphabets. While it does not have a widespread usage in modern languages, its presence in typography highlights the versatility of the Latin script, which continues to adapt and evolve to accommodate diverse phonological needs. The character U+01E4 is also significant from a technical standpoint as it demonstrates the ever-growing richness of Unicode, enabling digital communication across languages and dialects by providing an inclusive representation for various alphabets and scripts.
