Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɪ has the Unicode code point U+026A. 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+026A to binary:
00000010 01101010. 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:
11001001 10101010

Description
U+026A, known as the Latin Letter Small Capital I, is a typographical character used in digital text to represent the uppercase variant of the letter 'i'. In its small capital form, it appears identical to the standard uppercase 'I', but is used to maintain consistency with other small capital letters in specific typographic applications. This character often serves an important role in digital text for maintaining stylistic coherence and visual hierarchy within a given context. Its usage can be found predominantly in small-caps typefaces, where it helps preserve the appearance of uppercase and lowercase letters while providing a sense of unity within the text. While not as widely used as standard uppercase or lowercase 'I', U+026A plays a crucial role in maintaining typographic consistency and visual harmony within certain digital text applications.
