Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƈ has the Unicode code point U+0188. 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+0188 to binary:
00000001 10001000. 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+0188, or LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH HOOK (Ị), is a typographical variation of the lowercase Latin letter "c". This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the sound [ʒ] or [ʃ], which are distinct from the standard pronunciation of the letter "c" in many languages. It is commonly found in various regional language scripts, such as Vietnamese and some African languages like Efik and Idoma. While its usage is relatively limited compared to other Latin letters, it serves an essential purpose in accurately representing specific phonetic characteristics in these languages. U+0188's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures global text compatibility, facilitating clear communication across diverse linguistic communities.
