Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǣ has the Unicode code point U+01E2. 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+01E2 to binary:
00000001 11100010. 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
U+01E2, the Latin Capital Letter AE with Macron, is a typographical character predominantly used in digital text to represent the AE ligature in uppercase form. This letter combination is widely employed within the context of Icelandic and Old Norse, where it serves as an alternative to the 'ai' digraph commonly found in Latin script. The presence of the macron, a horizontal line placed above the two letters, distinguishes the capitalized AE ligature from its lowercase counterpart (U+01E3) and signifies a unique phonetic value. In typography, the use of this character contributes to preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in texts that employ Icelandic or Old Norse. The Latin Capital Letter AE with Macron plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of these languages by visually representing their distinct phonetic characteristics in written form.
