Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƪ has the Unicode code point U+01AA. 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+01AA to binary:
00000001 10101010. 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+01AA, known as the Latin Letter Reversed Esh Loop, is a typographical glyph that holds a unique position in digital text due to its distinct appearance and cultural significance. Its primary usage lies within the context of the Nuevo Latino script, a system of writing used predominantly by deaf communities in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries for communication purposes. In this alphabet, each letter is visually represented by an uppercase Latin letter with its corresponding sound value reversed or mirrored to convey the desired phonetic or semantic meaning. The Latin Letter Reversed Esh Loop's specific form is derived from the English uppercase "E" (U+0045, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E), but it has been flipped horizontally to depict a reversed loop in its structure. This visual characteristic allows users of the Nuevo Latino script to easily differentiate between similar-sounding phonemes and facilitates effective communication in various linguistic contexts. Although its use is primarily confined to the deaf community, the Latin Letter Reversed Esh Loop demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of Unicode in accommodating diverse writing systems and cultural practices.
