Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƙ has the Unicode code point U+0199. 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+0199 to binary:
00000001 10011001. 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+0199, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER K WITH HOOK," is a typographic element primarily used in digital text to represent a specific variation of the lowercase letter 'k'. This unique letter is utilized in various linguistic contexts, including localized alphabets and orthographies for certain languages. Its distinct hook-shaped tail differentiates it from the standard lowercase 'k', potentially signifying pronunciation variations or serving as a phonetic indicator in those languages. In digital text, U+0199 is an essential component that ensures accuracy and clarity of written communication by providing a comprehensive range of characters for diverse linguistic needs. By employing this character, typographers and designers can maintain cultural authenticity and linguistic correctness in their work across multiple languages and regions.
