Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǿ has the Unicode code point U+01FE. 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+01FE to binary:
00000001 11111110. 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
The Unicode character U+01FE represents the Latin Capital Letter O with Stroke and Acute. In digital text, this typographic symbol is commonly used to denote the letter "O" in various languages that employ diacritical marks for additional phonetic distinctions or nuances. Although its usage may vary across different languages, it predominantly appears in Romance languages like Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, where it helps to convey unique sounds not present in standard Latin alphabet. The character is an essential component of typography and linguistic expression, as it contributes to the accurate representation and understanding of words in these languages. By combining the basic form of the letter "O" with a stroke and acute accent, U+01FE ensures a precise phonetic and orthographical representation that would otherwise be ambiguous or misinterpreted if using the standard Latin capital letter O. This character demonstrates the versatility and complexity of Unicode in facilitating accurate and culturally-appropriate digital text across various languages and scripts.
