Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɂ has the Unicode code point U+0241. 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+0241 to binary:
00000010 01000001. 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+0241 represents the Latin Capital Letter Glottal Stop, a letter used primarily in digital text to represent the phoneme /ʔ/, which is known as the glottal stop or the "biblical 'h'". While this character is not widely used in everyday language, it plays an important role in linguistics and the study of certain languages, particularly Hebrew, Arabic, and some African languages. In these languages, the glottal stop serves as a distinct phoneme that has a significant impact on pronunciation and meaning. The use of U+0241 in digital text allows for greater accuracy and clarity when transcribing and discussing these linguistic nuances, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of global language diversity.
