Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǂ has the Unicode code point U+01C2. 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+01C2 to binary:
00000001 11000010. 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:
11000111 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+01C2 represents the Latin letter Alveolar Click, a phonetic symbol used in certain languages to represent specific sounds produced by clicking the tongue against the alveolar ridge. This character is primarily utilized in linguistic and phonetic transcription contexts, where it serves as an important tool for accurately conveying pronunciation in non-Latin scripts or when describing unfamiliar phonemes. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard enables researchers, linguists, and typographers to precisely document and compare sounds from different languages, facilitating communication and understanding across diverse linguistic landscapes.
