Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ļ has the Unicode code point U+013B. 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+013B to binary:
00000001 00111011. 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+013B, known as the "Latin Capital Letter L with Cedilla", is a typographical representation used in various digital texts to denote an uppercase letter 'L' with a cedilla accent, typically seen in the Portuguese and Spanish alphabets. This accent modifies the pronunciation of the letter 'L', transforming it from a simple 'L' sound into a 'ł' or 'ɫ' sound, depending on the language and dialect. Its primary usage is to differentiate the cedilla-accented letter 'L' from its unmodified counterpart in digital text, preserving linguistic accuracy across various languages that use this character. The Latin Capital Letter L with Cedilla is a vital component of orthography for accurate spelling and pronunciation in these languages, and its correct usage plays an essential role in maintaining proper communication in digital texts.
