Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˠ has the Unicode code point U+02E0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+02E0 to binary:
00000010 11100000. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+02E0, known as the Modifier Letter Small Gamma (Ḡ), plays a crucial role in digital typography, particularly in the field of phonetics and linguistics. This character is often used to represent an allophone or a variant sound within a specific language or dialect. The Modifier Letter Small Gamma is derived from the Greek letter gamma (γ) and has been modified to fit into the lowercase range of Latin alphabets. Its primary use lies in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and other phonetic transcription systems, where it aids in representing specific sounds that do not have direct equivalents in the standard Latin script. The Modifier Letter Small Gamma is an essential tool for linguists, speech therapists, and language learners to accurately represent and differentiate various pronunciations across languages and dialects.
