Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʱ has the Unicode code point U+02B1. 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+02B1 to binary:
00000010 10110001. 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:
11001010 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+02B1, known as the Modifier Letter Small H with Hook, serves a specialized purpose in typography and digital text. Its primary function is to be combined with other characters, specifically vowels, to modify their pronunciation or indicate certain linguistic features within specific languages. The hook at the bottom of the character symbolizes a change in the sound or stress on the letter it modifies. While its usage is relatively limited due to its specialized purpose, it plays an important role in accurately representing certain phonetic characteristics within specific languages that employ such diacritical marks. As with many Unicode characters, understanding and application of U+02B1 depend largely on the linguistic or cultural context in which it is used, emphasizing the need for careful attention to detail when working with typography and digital text in various global languages.
