Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɯ has the Unicode code point U+019C. 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+019C to binary:
00000001 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+019C is known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED M." It is a typographic symbol often used in digital text for various purposes, such as creating unique visual elements or representing specific concepts in certain cultural or linguistic contexts. However, its most common usage is in the creation of custom typefaces, where it can be employed to give a distinctive appearance to capital letters, especially in scripts that use the Latin alphabet. In some typographic designs, the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED M" may be used to create a sense of symmetry or visual balance within a word or phrase. This can be particularly useful when designing logos or other graphical elements where aesthetic appeal is important. Additionally, this character may also appear in certain technical contexts, such as in mathematical notation or computer programming, though its use in these fields is relatively rare. The "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED M" is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, and emoji used across different platforms and languages. This ensures that digital text can be accurately displayed and understood by users worldwide, regardless of their device or operating system.
