Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǝ has the Unicode code point U+018E. 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+018E to binary:
00000001 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+018E, the Latin Capital Letter Reversed E, is a lesser-known Unicode character that holds significance for typography enthusiasts and linguists. This unique letter is derived from the traditional E and is characterized by its reversed or flipped appearance. In digital text, it can be used to create distinctive typographical effects and visual interest in written works. Although not widely employed, the Reversed E has cultural relevance in some alphabets, such as Old Italic and Etruscan script. Its inclusion in Unicode underscores the importance of preserving diverse forms of written expression for future generations to appreciate and study.
