Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȝ has the Unicode code point U+021C. 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+021C to binary:
00000010 00011100. 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+021C represents the Latin capital letter Yogh (ᚼ), which is a letter used in Old English, Old Norse, and other medieval alphabets derived from the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc runic alphabet. In digital text, it is typically employed for typographic purposes, such as displaying historical texts or recreating old scripts, where its presence might be essential to maintain accuracy and convey the original intended meaning. The letter Yogh holds significance in linguistic and cultural contexts due to its role in the development of early European writing systems and its use in medieval manuscripts. In technical terms, U+021C is part of the Unicode character set, which facilitates the consistent representation of text across different platforms, languages, and devices.
