Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɨ has the Unicode code point U+0268. 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+0268 to binary:
00000010 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+0268, or the Latin Small Letter I with Stroke, is a typographical character used predominantly within digital texts for various purposes. It serves as a visual distinction of the letter 'i' in specific contexts, often used to differentiate it from other similar characters such as lowercase 'l' or uppercase 'I'. This character is frequently employed in linguistic studies and programming languages for accentuation and diacritical marks. The Latin Small Letter I with Stroke holds significance in certain cultural and linguistic contexts, particularly within the West African language of Ewé and other African languages. In these languages, it signifies a distinct phoneme, marking a particular pronunciation of the letter 'i'. Its presence in these languages highlights its role as an essential tool for maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. From a technical standpoint, U+0268 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character used across various writing systems worldwide. This standardization ensures compatibility and interoperability in digital communication, further emphasizing the importance of typographical characters like the Latin Small Letter I with Stroke in our increasingly connected world.
