Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƨ has the Unicode code point U+01A7. 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+01A7 to binary:
00000001 10100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+01A7, the Latin Capital Letter Tone Two, is a special character used in digital text for representing certain tonal nuances in various languages. Although it closely resembles the regular capital letter 'T', its usage is quite specific and serves to differentiate between distinct sounds or meanings within the context of the respective language. The character is particularly significant in African languages like Ligure and Bajuni, where it plays a crucial role in phonetic representation and pronunciation. In these linguistic systems, tone carries meaning, and U+01A7 assists in accurately conveying this meaning to readers familiar with the language's tonal system. Despite its specialized use, understanding the importance of U+01A7 and its role in typography contributes to a deeper appreciation for the vast array of linguistic diversity present in our global digital communication landscape.
