Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȁ has the Unicode code point U+0201. 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+0201 to binary:
00000010 00000001. 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+0201, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DOUBLE GRAVE (𝼁), is a typographical mark used in digital text to represent the letter "a" with a double grave accent. Its primary role is to provide an additional level of distinction within the Latin script for specific linguistic or cultural contexts, though it is not commonly employed in everyday writing. The double grave accent, while similar to the single grave accent (ˋ), which indicates nasalization in some languages, serves a different purpose when used with the letter "a". It can be found in specialized dictionaries and lexicons, or in text where a unique form of "a" is necessary for clarity. While its usage may be limited, it remains an important character within the Unicode standard, showcasing the extensive range of typographical options available to users.
