Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ʀ has the Unicode code point U+01A6. 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+01A6 to binary:
00000001 10100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+01A6, also known as the Latin Letter Y with Acute (yr), is a unique character within the Unicode standard that holds significance in digital text for various languages. Primarily used in the Old Church Slavic language, this letter represents a consonant sound distinct from its English counterpart "y." The typographical role of U+01A6 lies in accurately representing and differentiating this particular phonetic characteristic. In digital texts, U+01A6 enables accurate representation and communication across languages that employ the Latin script with diacritical marks. It is crucial for preserving linguistic accuracy in transcription, translation, and localization processes across cultural contexts. By accurately representing the Old Church Slavic language, U+01A6 plays a vital role in maintaining cultural heritage and linguistic diversity within the global digital landscape.
