Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ņ has the Unicode code point U+0145. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0145 to binary:
00000001 01000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0145, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH CEDILLA, is a typographical representation used in digital text to denote the Latin alphabet's uppercase 'N' with a cedilla. This character is often employed in languages such as Portuguese, Romanian, and several African dialects where it serves to differentiate between similar sounds or indicate specific pronunciation. The cedilla, represented by the underdot on the letter 'N', signifies a distinct phonetic value that varies from the standard pronunciation of the unaccented 'N'. By employing U+0145 in digital text, writers and programmers can accurately represent these linguistic distinctions, facilitating clear communication across diverse cultures and dialects. The use of LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH CEDILLA underscores the importance of Unicode standards in enabling a global and inclusive digital landscape.
