Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ʊ has the Unicode code point U+01B1. 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+01B1 to binary:
00000001 10110001. 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+01B1 represents the Latin Capital Letter Upsilon (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER UPSILON). This letter is primarily used in digital text for representing the uppercase form of the Greek letter Upsilon in various linguistic and technical contexts. Although not a commonly used character, it plays an important role in typography for those instances where the Latin script needs to be adapted to represent Greek characters or concepts. U+01B1 is particularly useful in fields such as computational linguistics, cryptography, and mathematical notation involving Greek letters. Its use allows for precise communication of ideas and concepts that are inherently Greek but need to be presented within a Latin typographic framework.
