Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȩ has the Unicode code point U+0228. 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+0228 to binary:
00000010 00101000. 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+0228, the Latin Capital Letter E with Cedilla (Ẇ), is a unique typographic character in Unicode that holds significant importance in digital text. This letter serves as an uppercase variant of the Spanish alphabet letter "E" and is used to represent the distinct phonetic sound [e] when cedilla (~) appears under the letter E. The cedilla indicates a palatal or postalveolar pronunciation, which differentiates it from the unmodified Latin Capital Letter E (Ẹ). U+0228 is primarily used in Spanish and other Romance languages to ensure accurate phonetic representation and maintain linguistic precision when typing in digital environments. In technical contexts, this character may be employed in typography and design for specific style guides or branding that requires the use of specialized characters, showcasing the richness and diversity of the Latin script.
