Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ē has the Unicode code point U+0112. 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+0112 to binary:
00000001 00010010. 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+0112, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH MACRON, serves a crucial role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation of specific phonetic or linguistic distinctions in various languages and scripts. Its primary usage lies in representing the Latin alphabet letter "E" with a macron diacritic mark, which is used to lengthen the vowel sound or indicate nasalization, depending on the language's rules and conventions. This character can be found in several European languages, including Irish Gaelic, where it helps differentiate between short and long vowels. In a technical context, U+0112 is utilized by typographers, designers, and developers to maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in digital texts and applications. Its precise usage depends on the specific language requirements and the desired level of fidelity to the original text's intent.
