Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƚ has the Unicode code point U+019A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+019A to binary:
00000001 10011010
. 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+019A is the Unicode code point for the character "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH BAR". This character is a letter used in the Latvian language and is part of the Latin Extended-A set of characters. In typography, it holds a distinctive place due to the vertical bar that separates the upper and lower parts of the letter 'L'. The usage of this character is limited primarily to the context of Latvian language documents or in other instances where the aesthetic appeal of the character might be preferred over the standard 'L'. It has no significant cultural or linguistic role outside the Latvian language, though it can be used in digital text for purposes of artistic expression or to convey a specific tone or mood.
