Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɶ has the Unicode code point U+0276. 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+0276 to binary:
00000010 01110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+0276, Latin Letter Small Capital Oe, is a typographical representation used primarily in digital text for various applications. This character serves an essential role in typesetting, specifically in languages such as German, Dutch, and Danish where the combination of "o" and "e" is significant. In these languages, U+0276 helps to distinguish between homophonic words that may be spelled with a single lowercase "oe" or as an "o" followed by an "e." The use of U+0276 enhances readability and clarity in written text by ensuring accurate representation of the intended sounds. Despite its importance in specific languages, U+0276 is not commonly used outside these linguistic contexts. Its limited usage can be attributed to the fact that it is considered a ligature, which is a single glyph representing a combination of two or more letters. In digital text, ligatures help preserve historical typography and enhance the aesthetic appeal of written content. However, they are not widely employed due to limitations in font support and character encoding. In summary, the Unicode character U+0276, Latin Letter Small Capital Oe, holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical value as it aids in accurate representation and distinction in certain languages. While its usage is relatively limited, its importance lies in maintaining historical typography and preserving the unique characteristics of select languages.
