Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ƨ has the Unicode code point U+01A8. 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+01A8 to binary:
00000001 10101000
. 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+01A8 is the Unicode character code for the Latin Small Letter Tone Two (ẗ). This special character is utilized primarily in Lithuanian orthography to mark tonal distinctions in specific words. In the Lithuanian alphabet, it serves as an alternative form of 't' when used in certain phonetic contexts. Although U+01A8 appears similar to a lowercase 'z,' its function is unique and unrelated to the latter character. The Latin Small Letter Tone Two plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic accuracy and ensuring correct pronunciation within Lithuanian digital text, contributing to the richness and complexity of the language.
