Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɗ has the Unicode code point U+0257. 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+0257 to binary:
00000010 01010111. 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+0257, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH HOOK", is a typographical symbol that serves a specific role in digital text. It is a variant of the lowercase letter 'd' and features an additional hook-like tail extending from the bottom right corner of the letterform. This character is primarily used to differentiate the Latin script within particular linguistic or cultural contexts, where it might be used to represent distinct phonological or orthographic nuances in a language. While it may not have widespread usage, its presence in Unicode ensures that it can be accurately represented and utilized in digital communication, providing flexibility for authors, typographers, and designers working with scripts that require this unique letterform. The inclusion of U+0257 in the Unicode Standard also supports the preservation of linguistic diversity and cultural identity by ensuring that these specialized characters are accessible and maintainable within modern computing systems.
