Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɋ has the Unicode code point U+024A. 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+024A to binary:
00000010 01001010. 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:
11001001 10001010

Description
U+024A, the Latin Capital Letter Small Q with Hook Tail, is a rare Unicode character that serves a specific purpose in typography. It is a less commonly used variant of the uppercase letter "Q" which features a distinctive curved tail on its lower right side. This unique glyph can be employed for stylistic purposes or to convey a particular cultural nuance in digital text, such as in calligraphy or historical manuscripts. Although it may not hold significant weight in modern typography, the Latin Capital Letter Small Q with Hook Tail offers an insight into the rich history of script development and the diverse range of characters available in the Unicode Standard. Its usage primarily lies within niche applications, such as specialized font design or antique document reproduction, where the subtle difference between a standard "Q" and its hook-tailed counterpart can evoke a specific atmosphere or convey a particular message.
