Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ř has the Unicode code point U+0158. 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+0158 to binary:
00000001 01011000. 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+0158 represents the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH CARON" in typography and digital text. This character is used primarily within the Slovak, Czech, and Upper Sorbian languages to denote a specific pronunciation of the letter 'R'. The caron (ˇ), also known as the acute accent grave or háček, modifies the sound of the base letter 'R', changing it from a trilled 'R' to an unvoiced, postalveolar fricative 'Š' in these languages. This character is essential for accurate transcription and representation of words in these languages, ensuring clear communication and understanding among speakers. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH CARON plays a crucial role in the correct representation and preservation of cultural and linguistic identity in Slovak, Czech, and Upper Sorbian texts, as well as in transliteration tasks between these languages and other scripts.
