Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɳ has the Unicode code point U+0273. 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+0273 to binary:
00000010 01110011. 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
U+0273, or the Latin Small Letter N with Retroflex Hook, is a unique typographical character primarily utilized within the realm of digital text. This glyph serves to represent an alphabetic letter that distinctively carries a retroflexed pronunciation, which is characterized by the tip of the tongue curling back towards the palate while articulating the sound. The Retroflex Hook symbol is often employed in linguistic contexts where the retroflex consonant is crucial for accurate phonetic interpretation and communication. In the realm of typography and digital text, the use of such a specialized character contributes to the precision and clarity of written materials, particularly in academic research or cultural studies involving languages that feature this unique pronunciation trait. Overall, U+0273 plays a significant role in preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating effective communication across diverse cultures and dialects.
