Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱹ has the Unicode code point U+2C79. 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+2C79 to binary:
00101100 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2C79, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED R WITH TAIL," is a typographical variation of the letter 'r'. It is primarily used in digital text to represent an alternative form of the letter 'r' that has been stylized with a tail extending from the top right corner. This unique design can be found in certain fonts and typefaces where a more decorative or artistic representation of the letter is desired. Although this character may not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it serves as an example of the diverse range of typographical variations available within the Unicode standard, which seeks to ensure consistent encoding and display of characters across different platforms and devices. The use of U+2C79 is more common in design and layout work than in everyday digital communication, where it may be employed for aesthetic or thematic purposes.
