Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƣ has the Unicode code point U+01A2. 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+01A2 to binary:
00000001 10100010. 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+01A2 represents the letter "OI" in the Latin alphabet. This uppercase letter is part of the extended character set used to represent various languages that require additional symbols beyond the standard 26 letters of the English alphabet. In digital text, U+01A2 is often used to transcribe words and phrases in languages such as Old Church Slavonic, where it serves as an important component for accurate representation of specific linguistic features. Although not commonly encountered in everyday language use, its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for greater accuracy in digital communication across diverse cultures and linguistic contexts. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of linguistic data by providing a means to encode and represent otherwise unrepresentable sounds or combinations of letters in digital texts.
