Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ĥ has the Unicode code point U+0124. 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+0124 to binary:
00000001 00100100. 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+0124, known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H WITH CIRCUMFLEX", is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text. This letter is derived from the Latin alphabet and features a distinctive circumflex accent above it. The circumflex serves various functions across languages: in French, for example, it indicates that a silent 'e' has been dropped or that the pronunciation of a word changes due to the presence of the accent; while in Portuguese, it can denote nasal vowels. Although less common in digital text, the Latin Capital Letter H with Circumflex continues to hold relevance in linguistic and cultural contexts where the circumflex accent is used, such as in Romanian and Old Norse. The character's precise usage depends on the requirements of the language or system it is applied within. Its use in digital text is mainly restricted to typographical purposes, historical texts, or certain programming languages. Overall, the Unicode character U+0124 remains a crucial symbol for those interested in typography, linguistics, and cultural history.
