Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɱ has the Unicode code point U+2C6E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+2C6E to binary:
00101100 01101110. 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:
11100010 10110001 10101110

Description
U+2C6E is a specialized letter in the Latin alphabet, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M WITH HOOK". It is a character encoded in the Unicode Standard, which is widely used for representing characters from virtually every written language on Earth. This particular character is not commonly used in everyday digital text but plays an essential role in specialized fields such as typography, linguistics, and cryptography. In typography, it may be employed to create unique designs or express specific ideas that cannot be conveyed by the standard capital letter "M" (U+004D). The hook in the character adds a distinctive touch to the letter, setting it apart from others and adding a sense of individuality or intrigue. Though it doesn't have any notable cultural or linguistic context, its usage might be associated with specific typographic styles, such as blackletter or textura script, which were popular during the Middle Ages in Europe.
