Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱷ has the Unicode code point U+2C77. 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+2C77 to binary:
00101100 01110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+2C77, also known as LATIN SMALL LETTER TAILLESS PHI, is a typographical character in the Unicode standard used to represent specific letter forms in digital text. This unique character distinguishes itself from the common Greek letter Phi (Φ or φ) by the absence of its tail or hook. The main usage and role of U+2C77 are primarily found within various typographic designs, where it adds a distinct appearance to a text, often for artistic or stylistic purposes. The LATIN SMALL LETTER TAILLESS PHI does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context as it is not part of any standardized language system. It exists primarily for digital typography and creative expression rather than to serve a functional purpose in communication. The character's inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures its compatibility across different platforms and software, making it accessible for designers and creators who seek to incorporate this tail-less form of Phi into their work. In summary, U+2C77, or LATIN SMALL LETTER TAILLESS PHI, is a unique typographical character in the Unicode standard that serves a predominantly artistic role within digital text. While it lacks a specific cultural or linguistic context, its presence in the Unicode system ensures accessibility and compatibility across various platforms and software for creative expression purposes.
