Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʂ has the Unicode code point U+0282. 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+0282 to binary:
00000010 10000010. 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+0282, also known as "Latin Small Letter S with Hook," is a unique character in the Unicode standard used to represent a specific variation of the lowercase letter 's'. In digital text, this character is often employed for typographical purposes or to convey distinct cultural and linguistic nuances. Its use can be traced back to the Insular script, an early form of writing used in medieval Ireland and Britain. Today, it is predominantly found in modern Irish language texts, where it serves a functional role rather than a decorative one. While the character might not be widely recognized or utilized outside these linguistic contexts, its presence within the Unicode standard showcases the diversity and inclusivity of written communication across various languages and scripts.
