Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƀ has the Unicode code point U+0243. 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+0243 to binary:
00000010 01000011. 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+0243 is the Unicode character code for "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B WITH STROKE". This unique character is often used in digital text for its distinct stylistic appearance, adding a stroke through the letter 'B'. The addition of this stroke serves to differentiate it from the regular capital letter 'B', often signifying a specific pronunciation or usage within certain linguistic contexts. While it may not be common in everyday writing systems, its presence is notable in typography and design for providing an additional tool for expression and distinction. This character's role in digital text demonstrates Unicode's ability to preserve and promote cultural and linguistic diversity by offering a wide range of characters beyond the basic Latin alphabet.
