Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɔ has the Unicode code point U+0186. 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+0186 to binary:
00000001 10000110. 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:
11000110 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+0186 represents the "Latin Capital Letter Open O". This letter is used in certain linguistic contexts to represent a distinct sound not found in standard English. It is particularly significant in the Ligure language, spoken by some communities in the regions of Liguria and Tuscany in Italy. In digital text, U+0186 is employed to accurately convey these unique linguistic elements, enabling users and software to correctly interpret and reproduce texts written in these languages. The character's inclusion in Unicode, a computing industry standard for character encoding, underscores its importance in facilitating cross-cultural communication and the preservation of linguistic diversity.
