Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʒ has the Unicode code point U+0292. 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+0292 to binary:
00000010 10010010. 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:
11001010 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+0292, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER EZH," is a typographical representation used primarily in digital text to display the lowercase letter "Ezh." Ezh (Ә, ә) is a Cyrillic letter that originated from the Kazakh and Turkmen alphabets. In these languages, it represents a voiceless palatal plosive sound and serves as an equivalent of the English "sh" or "zh" sound. The character U+0292 was introduced in Unicode version 3.1 in 1999 to facilitate accurate representation and encoding of text in these languages, ensuring correct display and interpretation across various platforms and applications.
