Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʊ has the Unicode code point U+028A. 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+028A to binary:
00000010 10001010. 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:
11001010 10001010

Description
U+028A, the Latin Small Letter Upsilon, holds a significant role in digital typography and Unicode character set. As part of the Greek alphabet's extension to the Latin script, this character typically represents the English equivalent of the Greek letter 'Upsilon'. It is primarily used for its phonetic value in various linguistic contexts, providing an additional option for representing specific sounds in languages where such a sound exists. The U+028A character demonstrates the versatility and richness of the Unicode system, which continues to expand to accommodate diverse typographical needs across different languages and cultures.
