Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ę has the Unicode code point U+0118. 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+0118 to binary:
00000001 00011000. 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
U+0118, also known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH OGONEK," is a typographical character found in the Unicode Standard. This character plays a significant role in digital text by representing the uppercase version of the letter 'E' with an ogonek, a diacritical mark used in various Slavic languages to indicate a palatalized or retroflexed consonant. The ogonek, represented by the Unicode code point U+02DB (MODIFIER LETTER OGONEK), is placed below the letter 'E', enhancing its cultural and linguistic context within texts written in languages such as Polish, Ukrainian, and Kashubian. Accurate representation of this character in digital text ensures proper communication and understanding among speakers of these languages.
