Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1BF9. 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+1BF9 to binary:
00011011 11111001. 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:
11100001 10101111 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+1BF9 is a unique symbol in the digital text sphere, specifically serving as a typographic representation of the Modifier Letter N (Ɲ). Its primary usage is within linguistic contexts where it functions to modify the tone or inflection of certain sounds, primarily found in African languages such as Yoruba and Igbo. U+1BF9 has a crucial role in these languages for accurate pronunciation and meaning transmission. The Modifier Letter N symbol is also used in various technical applications like computing and encoding, where it serves to enhance the precision of characters for particular language requirements or specific use cases. However, it's important to note that this character isn't commonly used outside its linguistic context due to its specialized nature.
