Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱬ has the Unicode code point U+2C6C. 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+2C6C to binary:
00101100 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+2C6C, or "LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH DESCENDER," is a typographical character found in the Unicode standard. This character is used primarily for digital text representation and serves to differentiate itself from the more commonly seen Latin Small Letter Z (U+007A). The descender element of the character extends below the baseline, setting it apart from other variations of 'z'. While this character might not have a significant role in everyday language usage, it remains an important asset for typographers, designers, and developers who work with unique fonts or specialized text formats. In terms of linguistic context, there isn't any specific cultural association with the U+2C6C character; however, it does demonstrate the versatility and expansiveness of the Unicode standard in accommodating diverse typographical elements. As with all aspects of digital text, the proper usage of this character depends on understanding its purpose and application within a specific context or design.
