Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ň has the Unicode code point U+0147. 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+0147 to binary:
00000001 01000111. 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:
11000101 10000111

Description
U+0147, the Latin Capital Letter N with Caron (Ń), is a character in the Unicode Standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation for various languages. It primarily serves to represent the "ń" sound in Polish and other Slavic languages like Czech and Slovak. In these languages, it is used to denote the palatal nasal consonant, which is produced by placing the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge while maintaining a slight upward curvature to allow airflow through the narrowed passage. This specialized character helps preserve linguistic accuracy in digital communication and ensures proper pronunciation for native speakers of these languages when using text-to-speech technology or reading transcriptions. In a broader context, it highlights Unicode's dedication to supporting a vast array of world scripts, contributing to the global interconnectivity and understanding of diverse linguistic expressions.
