Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȓ has the Unicode code point U+0212. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0212 to binary:
00000010 00010010
. 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+0212, the Latin Capital Letter R with Inverted Breve, is a special character used in typography to represent an R with a specific diacritical mark. This Unicode character is part of the Extended Latina character set and can be found in digital text for various purposes such as creating unique typographical designs or representing specialized terminology. The inverted breve, a vertical line above the letter, is not commonly used in standard language, but it has been employed in historical texts, linguistic studies, and typographic exploration to differentiate words or symbols. Despite its rarity, this character remains a valuable tool for those working in fields such as linguistics, typeface design, and digital typography.
