Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱼ has the Unicode code point U+2C7C. 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+2C7C to binary:
00101100 01111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2C7C, known as the "LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER J," serves a specific purpose in digital text. This character is primarily used to represent the lowercase letter 'j' in a subscript form, allowing it to appear slightly below the base line of other characters. In typography and certain scientific or mathematical notations, subscript characters like U+2C7C are essential for conveying accurate information. Although its usage may be relatively limited compared to other Unicode characters, the Latin Subscript Small Letter J plays a crucial role in specific contexts where it is necessary to differentiate between superscript and subscript characters or to represent chemical elements, mathematical formulas, and certain linguistic notations. Despite being less common than its uppercase counterpart, U+2C7C is an essential component of Unicode, ensuring the accurate representation of information across various digital platforms.
