Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǽ has the Unicode code point U+01FD. 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+01FD to binary:
00000001 11111101. 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+01FD (LATIN SMALL LETTER AE WITH ACUTE) is a typographic character used in digital text to represent the modified Latin letter "ae" with an acute accent mark. This character is often utilized in various languages, such as Dutch, Norwegian, and some German dialects, where it serves to denote the combination of two individual letters: "a" and "e." In these contexts, the acute accent signifies a specific pronunciation or phonological feature, distinct from the simple combination of the two letters without the diacritic mark. The LATIN SMALL LETTER AE WITH ACUTE plays a crucial role in preserving the accurate representation and pronunciation of words in these languages, ensuring effective communication and reducing potential misunderstandings in digital text. This character is an essential element for maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural authenticity in written communications across different regions and dialects where it is used.
