Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƽ has the Unicode code point U+01BC. 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+01BC to binary:
00000001 10111100. 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+01BC, known as the Latin Capital Letter Tone Five (ẑ), is a unique typographical element that has a vital role in digital text. It specifically represents a capital letter of the Latin script with an added diacritical mark, which alters its pronunciation or meaning within a specific linguistic context. This character is predominantly used in the Eastern Baltic languages, such as Latvian and Lithuanian, where it signifies the fifth tone of a word, affecting its pronunciation. It is also employed in the Latin-based orthography of other languages that utilize diacritical marks to denote tones or phonetic differences. In digital typography, U+01BC ensures accurate representation and distinction of sounds within these languages, preserving their linguistic integrity and aiding readers in proper interpretation.
