Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɫ has the Unicode code point U+026B. 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+026B to binary:
00000010 01101011. 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+026B, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH MIDDLE TILDE, plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character is used to depict a lowercase letter 'l' with a middle tilde (~) diacritic mark in the Latin script. The U+026B character is primarily utilized in linguistic contexts where the use of diacritical marks helps distinguish specific sounds or pronunciation, or for typographical purposes to maintain consistency and clarity within textual content. In certain languages, such as Occitan, the LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH MIDDLE TILDE can represent a distinct phonetic sound that differs from the standard lowercase 'l.' Additionally, in some specialized technical documentation or transcription systems, this character may serve a specific function to denote particular linguistic features or variations. Overall, the U+026B LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH MIDDLE TILDE is an essential part of digital text representation, enabling precise communication and understanding across different languages and cultural contexts by accurately conveying unique pronunciations or linguistic nuances through the use of diacritical marks.
