Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱪ has the Unicode code point U+2C6A. 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+2C6A to binary:
00101100 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+2C6A, the Latin Small Letter K with Descender, is a unique typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realms of typography and Unicode encoding. The Latin script, which includes this character, forms the basis for most modern languages, allowing it to be a crucial component of written communication across various cultures. The Latin Small Letter K with Descender stands out due to its distinctive design element - the descender, a vertical stroke that extends below the baseline. This characteristic feature distinguishes it from the standard lowercase 'k' (U+006B) and adds visual intrigue when used in text. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures consistent rendering across different devices and platforms, promoting seamless communication and exchange of digital content. Despite its unconventional appearance, the Latin Small Letter K with Descender has limited use within linguistic contexts, as it does not represent any specific phoneme or grapheme. Its primary application lies in artistic or creative typography, where it can be employed to add a unique aesthetic touch to text designs or as an alternative for standard lowercase 'k' in certain visual communications. In conclusion, U+2C6A serves as a fascinating example of the versatility and breadth of Unicode character encoding, highlighting the rich potential of typography in digital text.
