Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƻ has the Unicode code point U+01BB. 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+01BB to binary:
00000001 10111011. 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
U+01BB is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the "LATIN LETTER TWO WITH STROKE". Its primary role in digital text is to serve as a variation of the lowercase letter 't', with an added diagonal stroke passing through it. This distinctive feature distinguishes it from other Latin letters and provides a visual flair that can be particularly useful for typography and design purposes. In some languages, such as Cornish or the fictional language Dothraki used in the HBO series Game of Thrones, the character may serve as an actual phoneme or grapheme, contributing to the meaning of words. U+01BB is a valuable tool for linguists and typeface designers who aim to preserve cultural authenticity while adhering to modern digital text standards.
