Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƹ has the Unicode code point U+01B8. 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+01B8 to binary:
00000001 10111000
. 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+01B8, the Latin Capital Letter Ezh Reversed, is a unique typographical character in the Unicode standard. In digital text, it plays an essential role by representing the letter "E" in certain languages, particularly those derived from Old Slavonic scripts such as Church Slavic and Old Church Slavonic. The Ezh Reversed (Е) has a distinctive shape, characterized by its reversed stroke on the lowercase form, which sets it apart from other Latin letters. This feature can be observed in various regional languages, including Russian, Serbian, and Bulgarian. The character's usage is primarily found in these specific cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, where it serves to differentiate words and maintain proper spelling. In digital text, the Ezh Reversed ensures accurate communication by enabling users to express themselves in languages that utilize this unique letter.
