Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɘ has the Unicode code point U+0258. 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+0258 to binary:
00000010 01011000. 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+0258, the Latin Small Letter Reversed E, is a typographical character within the Unicode standard. It is primarily used in digital text to represent an inverted form of the letter "e". Although it may appear visually distinct from a regular lowercase 'e', it maintains the same code point value as the standard lowercase 'e' (U+0065) in most encoding schemes. The character is less commonly used than its unaltered counterpart, but it can be seen in certain contexts such as typeface design, where it may serve as a distinctive glyph, or in digital text communication to convey emphasis or a playful tone. There isn't any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with the character, other than its role as an alternative representation of the letter 'e'.
