Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɱ has the Unicode code point U+0271. 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+0271 to binary:
00000010 01110001. 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+0271 represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER M WITH HOOK". This typographical symbol is a variation of the lowercase letter 'm' in the Latin script, featuring an additional curved hook-like stroke. In digital text, it is often used for emphasis or to represent specific linguistic sounds and dialects, such as in certain African languages. Although its usage might be less common compared to standard Latin characters, U+0271 plays a notable role in typography by offering an alternative form of the letter 'm' that can be utilized for artistic purposes, cultural representation, or to convey unique pronunciation or dialectical characteristics in written communication.
