Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƭ has the Unicode code point U+01AC. 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+01AC to binary:
00000001 10101100
. 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+01AC, also known as Latin Capital Letter T with Hook (ẗ), is a unique typographical character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for digital text representation. In its typical usage, this letter serves to distinguish itself from other similar letters in various alphabets and scripts, adding a touch of aesthetics and cultural authenticity. Notably, Latin Capital Letter T with Hook finds its origins in the Old Italic script, where it was used as an alternative form for capital 'T.' It later became more prominent in Latin texts from the Roman Empire era. Although its usage has dwindled over time due to the standardization of other forms of the letter, the character continues to hold significance in typography and linguistic studies, particularly in historical documents and literature. In terms of technical context, U+01AC can be employed to represent various phonetic sounds or dialects where a hooked 'T' is used. It also adds versatility to digital text representation, allowing authors and designers to express cultural nuances or create visually appealing typographic designs. By understanding and utilizing the Latin Capital Letter T with Hook (ẗ), typographers and linguists can contribute to the richness of written communication and maintain a connection to our historical roots.
