Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɓ has the Unicode code point U+0181. 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+0181 to binary:
00000001 10000001. 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+0181 is a unique Unicode character known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B WITH HOOK." This specific character has an essential role in digital text, particularly in typography and linguistic applications that require diacritical marks. The Latin script, which forms the basis for most European languages, frequently employs such diacritics to distinguish words or signify distinct sounds. In particular, the B with Hook (U+0181) is predominantly used in Old Church Slavonic and some other Slavic languages, where it serves as an important orthographic feature. The character visually differs from a standard capital "B" by featuring an extra hook or tail on the left side of the letter, making it easily distinguishable in text. By understanding and implementing characters like U+0181, digital typography can accurately represent and preserve the nuances of various languages and cultural contexts in written communication.
