Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ɏ has the Unicode code point U+024F. 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+024F to binary:
00000010 01001111. 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:
11001001 10001111

Description
U+024F, the Latin Small Letter Y with Stroke, is a typographical character used primarily in digital text to represent an alphabetic symbol. This unique letter varies from the standard "y" as it includes a vertical stroke running through its center, giving it a distinct visual appearance. While not part of the English alphabet, this character plays a significant role in some European and non-Latin scripts such as Old Norse and Yiddish, where it is utilized to differentiate between similar phonetic sounds or to indicate specific pronunciation rules. In digital text, U+024F ensures accurate representation of the intended letter, preserving its cultural and linguistic significance in various contexts.
