Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȋ has the Unicode code point U+020B. 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+020B to binary:
00000010 00001011. 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+020B is the Unicode code point for the "LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH INVERTED BREVE" character. This unique typographical symbol plays a significant role in digital text, primarily used within linguistic and technical contexts. It represents an inverted breve diacritic placed on the lowercase letter 'i'. The inverted breve has been utilized historically as an alternative form of the acute accent, but its use is quite rare today. In certain specialized fields like historical linguistics or paleography, it serves to differentiate between words with identical forms in these contexts. Notably, the character U+020B finds application in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) where it helps denote specific phonetic distinctions not represented by other IPA symbols. The presence of this character in digital text emphasizes its importance for accurate representation and communication within these niche domains.
