Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EFE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0EFE to binary:
00001110 11111110. 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:
11100000 10111011 10111110

Description
U+0EFE is a Unicode character code that represents the letter "Ɛ" (Latin capital letter E with hook above). In digital text, this character is typically used in various languages and scripts where it serves as an alphabetical letter or symbol. One such language is the Gbe language family, including Fon and Gen languages spoken in West Africa, where U+0EFE holds a significant linguistic role. The character is part of the Unicode Extended-A block, which contains supplementary symbols, letters, numbers, and punctuation from various alphabets and scripts that are not included in the basic multilingual plane. Its cultural and technical context can be found in typography, specifically in the design and implementation of Gbe languages' text systems, where U+0EFE is used to represent a distinct phoneme or sound. In summary, U+0EFE is a crucial component in digital text for certain languages and scripts, particularly in West African linguistics, serving as an essential letter in the Gbe language family.
