Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɒ has the Unicode code point U+2C70. 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+2C70 to binary:
00101100 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2C70, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED ALPHA, serves a unique role in digital text by representing an uppercase alphabetical letter that is turned or rotated. It can be found in various contexts within typography, specifically when designers and typographers aim to create custom, stylized fonts or logos that incorporate rotated letters for aesthetic purposes. U+2C70 does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical significance apart from its application in creative typographic design. As an uppercase letter, it may also be used in branding, acronyms, or other contexts where capitalized text is necessary, but the rotated form sets it apart from standard Latin letters.
