Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȉ has the Unicode code point U+0208. 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+0208 to binary:
00000010 00001000. 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+0208, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOUBLE GRAVE," is a typographical representation used primarily in digital text for specific linguistic or technical contexts. This character, when employed, typically represents the same sound and meaning as a standard capital letter 'I', but with an added diacritical mark to differentiate it from other similar letters or to denote a distinct phonetic value within a particular language. While this character may be less commonly seen in everyday digital text, its usage can be vital for accurately representing certain dialects and languages that utilize the double grave accent for specific pronunciation or grammatical purposes. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOUBLE GRAVE has a significant role in preserving linguistic diversity and ensuring clear communication within specialized texts.
