Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɔ has the Unicode code point U+0254. 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+0254 to binary:
00000010 01010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+0254, known as the Latin Small Letter Open O, is a typographic character primarily used in digital text to represent the lowercase open-o letter "o". It is often utilized in programming, coding, and various digital communication platforms where distinct representation of characters is required. The character has its roots in the Unicode standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, or emoji that can be represented digitally. While not commonly used in daily language or typography, it holds significance in specialized fields such as linguistics and digital communication where distinct representation of characters is essential for clarity and understanding.
