Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȡ has the Unicode code point U+0221. 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+0221 to binary:
00000010 00100001. 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+0221, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CURL, is a typographical symbol with specific roles in digital text. This character is used to represent the lowercase form of the Latin letter "d" with an added curl feature, which differentiates it from the standard lowercase "d." The primary usage of this character lies in its application in various fonts and typographic styles, often found in creative or artistic text. While not widely used for general language purposes, the LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CURL plays a significant role in specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts where unique letterforms are required. In these contexts, it contributes to the diversity and expressiveness of digital text.
