Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɚ has the Unicode code point U+025A. 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+025A to binary:
00000010 01011010. 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+025A is known as the "Latin Small Letter Schwa with Hook". This character holds a significant role in digital text communication, particularly in linguistics and typography studies. Its unique form derives from its Latin script origin, where it serves as an essential element in certain European languages' alphabet. The primary usage of U+025A lies in representing the schwa sound (ə), which is a neutral vowel sound commonly found in many languages, including English. This character often fills phonetic and phonological gaps where no explicit vowel sound exists, making it an essential tool for linguistic analysis and language learning. In addition to its role in linguistic studies, U+025A has cultural significance as well. In certain regional dialects and languages, the schwa sound is not only phonetic but also carries distinct cultural connotations. The use of this character reflects a respect for linguistic diversity and the importance of understanding regional accents and pronunciations in language study. In terms of technical context, U+025A's inclusion in Unicode provides broader accessibility to the schwa sound across different digital platforms and programming languages. This facilitates accurate text representation and enables users to convey specific linguistic information precisely, enhancing communication and understanding across various cultures and languages worldwide.
