Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȵ has the Unicode code point U+0235. 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+0235 to binary:
00000010 00110101
. 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:
11001000 10110101

Description
U+0235, or Latin Small Letter N with Curl, is a typographical character used in digital text to represent a unique variation of the lowercase letter 'n'. This character's distinct curling design sets it apart from the standard lowercase 'n', often utilized for artistic or stylistic purposes. The LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH CURL does not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, as it is primarily used for visual interest and emphasis rather than representing a distinct sound or meaning in language. Its primary role in digital text is to provide typographers and designers with an alternative lowercase 'n' that can be utilized to create more visually engaging designs, while maintaining the familiarity of the base character. In terms of technical usage, U+0235 follows the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistent encoding and representation across various platforms and devices.
