Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ď has the Unicode code point U+010E. 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+010E to binary:
00000001 00001110. 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 Unicode character U+010E, known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH CARON," plays a significant role in digital text for various languages and scripts, particularly in the Czech language. In this Slavic language, it represents the phoneme /ɟ/ or /dʒ/, which are similar to the English "j" sound. The caron (ˇ) above the "D" signifies that the following vowel should be modified in some way, typically lengthened or changed in quality. This character is crucial for accurate transcription and translation of Czech texts, especially when dealing with specialized texts such as legal documents, academic papers, or literary works. Its use helps maintain correct pronunciation and intonation, ensuring effective communication in digital formats. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH CARON belongs to the Latin Extended-A Unicode block (U+0256 to U+02AF), a vital part of the Unicode system that expands the capabilities of the Latin alphabet for various languages. This block provides an array of diacritical characters and accented letters, catering to the unique phonetic and orthographic needs of languages employing Latin-based scripts. While primarily used in European languages like Czech, it can also be employed in other linguistic contexts where these diacritical marks are relevant. By including this character in digital text encoding standards, the Unicode system ensures that languages like Czech can be accurately represented and understood globally.
