Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Πhas the Unicode code point U+0152. 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+0152 to binary:
00000001 01010010. 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 10010010

Description
U+0152, the Latin Capital Ligature OE, is a typographic character that combines the letters "O" and "E" in an aesthetically pleasing manner. This ligature is particularly useful in digital text to maintain consistent visual presentation across various devices and platforms, as it ensures uniformity in the appearance of the letters when used together. The Latin Capital Ligature OE has its roots in historical handwriting systems like Gothic or Old English scripts, where the two letters were often intertwined to create a fluid writing style. Today, the ligature is mainly utilized for typographical purposes in design work, branding materials, and certain formal documents to enhance readability and overall visual appeal.
