Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƌ has the Unicode code point U+018C. 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+018C to binary:
00000001 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+018C represents the Latin small letter 'd' with a topbar (ḑ). This typographic symbol is primarily utilized in digital text for various applications, such as linguistic studies, historical texts, and specialized fields where specific diacritical marks are required. Its cultural and linguistic context can be traced back to the Old Italic script, which was used in ancient Italy around 600-300 BCE. The use of this character is limited compared to other Latin letters, as it mainly serves a technical purpose to differentiate certain words or to indicate specific phonetic variations in certain languages. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is essential to recognize the role of U+018C within the vast array of characters available for use in digital communication, contributing to the richness and diversity of human language expression.
