Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ŋ has the Unicode code point U+014A. 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+014A to binary:
00000001 01001010. 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:
11000101 10001010

Description
U+014A is the Unicode representation of the Latin capital letter "Eng." This character is primarily used in digital text for its role as a part of various words and names that include the "Eng" sequence. One notable example where it is prominently featured is in the name of the English language, which is often abbreviated as "En" or "Eng" in digital communications. The use of U+014A helps to distinguish the English language from other languages that may include similar sequences of letters. While its usage may seem limited due to the rarity of words ending in "eng," it still serves an important role in accurate representation of text, especially when dealing with proper nouns or abbreviations related to the English language.
