Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ķ has the Unicode code point U+0136. 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+0136 to binary:
00000001 00110110. 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+0136, or Latin Capital Letter K with Cedilla (Ƙ), is a special character in Unicode that plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the context of typography and linguistics. This character is used primarily to represent a distinct phoneme in certain languages such as Portuguese, where it is a key component of the alphabet, and the Czech language. The cedilla (¸) under the letter 'K' differentiates its pronunciation from the standard /k/ sound, transforming it into either /ʧ/, as in the case of Portuguese, or /ˈkʲ/, which is found in Czech. This unique representation enables accurate communication and understanding across languages that utilize this phoneme. In digital text, the Latin Capital Letter K with Cedilla (Ƙ) ensures proper linguistic expression while preserving the cultural nuances inherent in these languages.
