Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǿ has the Unicode code point U+01FF. 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+01FF to binary:
00000001 11111111. 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+01FF, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND ACUTE," holds significant importance in digital text and typography due to its unique combination of a vertical stroke through the letter 'o' and an acute accent on top. This distinctive mark is predominantly used in various languages that use the Latin script, including but not limited to French, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician, and Occitan. Its primary role lies in phonetic representation, helping differentiate words with similar orthographies and facilitating text readability. In certain dialects or regional variations of these languages, U+01FF enables precise pronunciation guidance and ensures accurate communication. Although this character is not as widespread as others in the Latin alphabet, it holds a crucial position in preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage by giving voice to specific phonetic nuances.
