Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɞ has the Unicode code point U+025E. 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+025E to binary:
00000010 01011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+025E, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER CLOSED REVERSED OPEN E," is a unique typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in linguistic and cultural contexts. This character is primarily used to represent the closed-up version of the letter 'e' when it appears at the end of a word or phrase in certain languages. Although not commonly seen in everyday use, it can be found in specific typographical styles and scripts that require distinct variations of letters for stylistic purposes. The LATIN SMALL LETTER CLOSED REVERSED OPEN E is an excellent example of how Unicode's extensive character set allows for greater flexibility and creativity in digital text expression, preserving the richness of various languages and typographical traditions.
