Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƽ has the Unicode code point U+01BD. 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+01BD to binary:
00000001 10111101. 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+01BD, the Latin Small Letter Tone Five, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that primarily serves a functional role in digital texts. This character is commonly employed to denote vowel length or tone within various linguistic contexts, particularly in some Slavic languages such as Belarusian and Ukrainian. It represents a specific phonetic variation of the letter 'e' or 'i', signifying a longer sound or different tone compared to standard letters. In digital text processing systems and software, U+01BD plays an essential part in accurately representing these tonal nuances for clearer communication. The character helps maintain linguistic integrity by preserving distinct phonetic features that may otherwise be lost or misinterpreted through translation or transcription.
