Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ĵ has the Unicode code point U+0135. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0135 to binary:
00000001 00110101
. 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+0135 represents "LATIN SMALL LETTER J WITH CIRCUMFLEX" in the Latin script. This character is commonly used in digital text for typographical purposes, such as creating unique or distinctive fonts, and often seen in branding, logos, or other design elements. The circumflex accent (ˆ) typically indicates a change in pronunciation or function of the preceding letter in certain languages, although it does not alter the value of J in English. In French, for example, the character "Â" is used to denote the sound "ă" rather than the English pronunciation of 'A'. However, in some fonts and digital typography, the circumflex accent may be used decoratively without any change in pronunciation or function. The character does not carry any cultural significance beyond its aesthetic appeal and versatility in various contexts.
