Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɍ has the Unicode code point U+024C. 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+024C to binary:
00000010 01001100. 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+024C, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH STROKE, is a typographic representation of the letter 'R' with a horizontal stroke through it. In digital text, this character is used primarily for specific applications where the use of a standard capital 'R' may be inappropriate or confusing. Its distinctive appearance makes it useful in situations where emphasis on a particular word or phrase is desired, or when differentiating between similar words in a given context. Although the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH STROKE does not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, its use can be found across various domains and industries, including design, literature, and branding. The character may also appear in handwritten text or as part of an artistic or calligraphic style. Overall, U+024C serves a niche yet essential purpose in digital communication by offering a visually distinct alternative to the standard capital 'R' for those situations where its unique form is desired or necessary.
