Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƫ has the Unicode code point U+01AB. 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+01AB to binary:
00000001 10101011. 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+01AB, Latin Small Letter T with Palatal Hook, is a specialized character in the Unicode standard. This character's primary use lies in representing a specific phonetic sound that is not typically found in English but is common in certain European languages like Finnish and Estonian. Specifically, it represents the voiceless alveolar or postalveolar affricate in those languages. The Latin Small Letter T with Palatal Hook is part of the extended Latin alphabet and is used to distinguish this sound from other similar phonemes in these languages. As such, it plays a crucial role in accurate linguistic transcription and translation, allowing for clear communication of local dialects and variations within European languages. It demonstrates the versatility of the Unicode standard in accommodating the unique requirements of various languages around the world.
