Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȋ has the Unicode code point U+020A. 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+020A to binary:
00000010 00001010. 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
U+020A, the Latin Capital Letter I with Inverted Breve, is a unique character that holds significance in typography and Unicode. This character is primarily used in digital text to denote the initial letter of words or sentences. While it closely resembles the standard capital "I", its distinguishing feature is the small loop (known as a breve) placed at the bottom-center of the letter, inverted compared to the regular Latin Capital Letter I with Acute Breve (U+00C7). The presence of this inverted breve adds an element of stylistic variation, making it suitable for use in creative writing, literature, or other applications where a unique and visually distinct form of the capital "I" is required. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical context, the Latin Capital Letter I with Inverted Breve does not hold any specific significance as its usage remains limited to specific design and typography needs. However, its presence in Unicode demonstrates the diversity and inclusivity of character encoding systems, allowing for a wide range of expressions and styles within digital text.
