Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɩ has the Unicode code point U+0269. 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+0269 to binary:
00000010 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+0269, the Latin Small Letter Iota, plays a significant role in digital typography as part of the Unicode Standard. This character is primarily utilized to represent the lowercase version of the Greek letter 'iota' within text. In digital texts, especially those involving linguistic or cultural studies, U+0269 can be employed to precisely depict the specific nuances of certain languages and scripts that incorporate the iota symbol. For instance, it is commonly found in Old Church Slavonic, Gothic, and Old Norse writings, as well as in modern typography for displaying IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcriptions. U+0269's inclusion in Unicode underlines its importance as a versatile symbol that bridges the gap between linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts, enabling accurate representation of diverse texts.
