Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɽ has the Unicode code point U+2C64. 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+2C64 to binary:
00101100 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
U+2C64, also known as the Latin Capital Letter R with Tail, is a unique Unicode character that plays a significant role in typography and digital text. This character is primarily used to represent the letter "R" in specific typographic styles or scripts where an elongated tail extends from the base of the letter. The extended tail gives the letter a distinctive appearance, making it easily distinguishable from other Latin letters. In some cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, the U+2C64 character may be used to convey a particular stylistic choice, reflecting artistic or design preferences in digital text applications. However, due to its specific and specialized usage, the character is not commonly found in everyday text or typography.
