Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɟ has the Unicode code point U+025F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+025F to binary:
00000010 01011111
. 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+025F, known as the "LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS J WITH STROKE," holds a significant place in digital text due to its unique design and use in various languages. This typographic gem is primarily used in the Limburgish language, which is spoken by the Limburg people in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. The character's distinctive appearance sets it apart from other Latin letters; it features a vertical stroke through the letter "j" and lacks the dot typically found at the bottom of the regular lowercase "j." This combination results in a visually appealing typographic element that contributes to the richness of Limburgish text. As a crucial component of digital communication for Limburgish speakers, U+025F plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the cultural identity of this linguistic community. Overall, the character U+025F is a testament to the vast diversity of human languages and the importance of inclusive typography in digital text representation.
