Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BFB. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0BFB to binary:
00001011 11111011. 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:
11100000 10101111 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+0BFB is the character "ɓ" (lowercase Latin letter with double acute accent). In digital text, it plays a vital role in representing the pronunciation of certain letters in specific languages. The combination of the lowercase Latin "b" and two acute accents creates this unique character, which is often used to denote the voiced bilabial implosive sound, commonly found in various African languages. This character enables accurate transcription and representation of these sounds in linguistic studies, dictionaries, or translations, contributing to a better understanding of diverse languages and cultures. Its significance lies in its ability to provide an accurate phonetic representation that may be crucial for correct pronunciation, particularly in non-English languages where the sound it represents might not exist in English.
