Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƛ has the Unicode code point U+019B. 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+019B to binary:
00000001 10011011. 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:
11000110 10011011

Description
U+019B, the Latin Small Letter Lambda with Stroke (ƛ), is a unique typographic character used primarily for its distinct visual appearance in digital text. This uncommon letter, based on the Greek alphabet, features a horizontal stroke through its center, setting it apart from the standard lowercase lambda (l) often utilized in the English language and other Latin-based scripts. Its primary role lies within linguistics, particularly in the representation of languages that incorporate the Latin script with added diacritical marks, such as some dialects of Romance languages or constructed languages. The character's usage is limited due to its specialized nature but can serve as a powerful tool for emphasizing textual differences in academic and cultural contexts. In technical applications, U+019B may be employed in font development or design projects where unique characters are desired.
