Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ʈ has the Unicode code point U+01AE. 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+01AE to binary:
00000001 10101110. 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+01AE, known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH RETROFLEX HOOK," holds a unique position in digital typography and linguistic representation. As part of the Latin script, it's primarily employed to represent the retroflex 't' sound, which is typically heard in various Indian languages such as Marathi, Gujarati, and some forms of Hindi. Its usage in text signifies cultural nuance and regional phonetics, thus playing a crucial role in preserving linguistic identity within digital communication. The character's technical context lies in its distinctive representation of the retroflex sound via a hook-like mark added to the standard capital 'T.' This distinctive feature differentiates it from other Latin script characters and helps maintain accuracy in written expression, particularly in languages where the retroflex 't' is part of the phonemic inventory. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH RETROFLEX HOOK's incorporation into digital text underlines the power of Unicode in enabling global communication by accommodating diverse scripts and pronunciations, thus contributing to a richer understanding of linguistic diversity across digital platforms.
