Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƶ has the Unicode code point U+01B5. 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+01B5 to binary:
00000001 10110101. 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+01B5, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH STROKE, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within typography and specific linguistic contexts. This capital letter variation features a distinctive vertical stroke through the central portion of the letter "Z," setting it apart from the standard Latin capital letter "Z" (U+005A). Its primary usage is observed in the Bokmål variant of the Norwegian language, where it replaces the regular capital "Z" to maintain consistency in the writing system. In other languages or contexts, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH STROKE may be employed for stylistic purposes or to create unique visual effects in digital typography. While its usage is relatively limited compared to common Latin characters, this character contributes to the rich diversity of global written expression and typographic design.
