Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Č has the Unicode code point U+010C. 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+010C to binary:
00000001 00001100. 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
The Latin Capital Letter C with Caron (U+010C), also known as the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C HACEK in Unicode 10, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within Central European languages such as Czech and Slovak. This character is crucial for maintaining linguistic accuracy during transcription and translation processes, altering the pronunciation of the letter 'C' from the IPA /k/ sound to the soft consonant /ʨ/. The caron (ˇ), a diacritical mark placed over the letter 'C', is a distinctive feature in these languages. It belongs to the Latin Extended-A Unicode block, which extends the capabilities of the Latin alphabet for various languages by incorporating an assortment of diacritical characters and accented letters. This comprehensive character set facilitates accurate representation of sounds across diverse linguistic contexts, enhancing readability in digital communication. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it is essential to preserve the integrity of languages that require specific diacritics, such as the Latin Capital Letter C with Caron. The use of this character underscores Unicode's commitment to supporting a wide range of languages and scripts, enabling more accurate and effective communication across various linguistic boundaries.
