Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ŗ has the Unicode code point U+0156. 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+0156 to binary:
00000001 01010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The character U+0156 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH CEDILLA) is a typographical representation in the Unicode standard, commonly utilized in digital text to convey specific linguistic or cultural nuances. This letter, when employed, typically denotes an 'r' with a cedilla, a diacritical mark (ˇ) positioned under the letter's tail, which alters its pronunciation and differentiates it from the standard 'r.' The U+0156 character is predominantly found in Portuguese, Czech, and other Slavic languages, where it serves to distinguish between similar but distinct phonemes. Its usage facilitates accurate communication and understanding in multilingual contexts, emphasizing the importance of precise typography and Unicode standards in digital text production.
