Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ŕ has the Unicode code point U+0154. 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+0154 to binary:
00000001 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The character U+0154, Latin Capital Letter R with Acute, is a crucial element within the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character in every language of the world. This specific symbol is primarily used in digital text as an accentuated form of the letter "R" and carries an essential role in typography due to its distinct acute marking. In linguistic contexts, U+0154 is commonly found in various regional languages and dialects where the acute accent denotes a change in pronunciation or meaning. For instance, it is utilized in Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) to differentiate between a plain 'R' sound and an 'Á', which represents a rolled R sound. Furthermore, the Latin Capital Letter R with Acute has cultural significance as it plays a role in preserving and promoting the unique linguistic characteristics of these regional languages. In digital text processing and encoding, U+0154 ensures accurate representation and interpretation of the intended linguistic features, facilitating effective communication across diverse cultures and languages.
