Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ł has the Unicode code point U+0141. 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+0141 to binary:
00000001 01000001. 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+0141, known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH STROKE," is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, which aims to encode all characters for use with computers. This letter serves a specific role in digital text by providing an alternative representation of the Latin alphabet, often used in various languages and typography styles. The stroke through the letter "L" distinguishes it from other similar letters and adds a visual flair that can enhance readability and design. The character is often found in technical or cultural contexts where distinct letter forms are desirable, such as in ancient manuscripts, specialized fonts, or regional dialects. Its usage demonstrates the rich diversity of written communication across languages and cultures, making U+0141 an essential element for accurate digital representation of these unique forms.
