Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ɏ has the Unicode code point U+024E. 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+024E to binary:
00000010 01001110. 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:
11001001 10001110

Description
The character U+024E, or Latin Capital Letter Y with Stroke, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text for its distinct visual appearance. This alphabetic symbol differentiates itself from the standard capital letter "Y" by featuring an additional horizontal stroke through the center of the letter, giving it a unique and decorative quality. Although not commonly found in everyday written communication, the Latin Capital Letter Y with Stroke is often employed in specialized contexts such as typography, design, or digital media production where a visually distinctive capital "Y" is desired. This character's use may also be seen in historical documents, ancient scripts, or certain cultural productions. Its role in digital text lies primarily in its aesthetic appeal rather than any functional purpose.
