Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ĭ has the Unicode code point U+012C. 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+012C to binary:
00000001 00101100. 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+012C, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH BREVE, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text for representing a specific variant of the letter "I" with a distinctive diacritical mark known as breve. This character is typically utilized within various languages that employ the Latin script, such as Czech or Slovak, where it serves to distinguish certain phonological features. The breve, represented by a short horizontal line beneath the letter, signifies a longer duration of the consonant sound "i" in these languages, altering its pronunciation from a simple "ee" to an extended "eee." U+012C contributes significantly to the accuracy and clarity of linguistic communication within cultural contexts where this distinction is essential. It also plays a vital role in preserving linguistic traditions and enhancing the precision of digital text.
