Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ţ has the Unicode code point U+0162. 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+0162 to binary:
00000001 01100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+0162, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH CEDILLA, is a typographical representation of the capital letter 'T' with a cedilla. In digital text, this character is often used in languages such as Portuguese and Romanian to indicate a distinct pronunciation or phonetic difference from the standard 'T'. The cedilla, represented by the macron under the letter, modifies the sound of the consonant and can change its place of articulation. This modification is crucial for clarity and accuracy in languages where subtle variations in pronunciation carry significant meaning. As a result, U+0162 plays an essential role in preserving linguistic integrity across various digital platforms and communications.
