Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ū has the Unicode code point U+016A. 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+016A to binary:
00000001 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+016A, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH MACRON, is a typographical element that has significant implications in digital text. As an uppercase letter in the Latin script, it carries the diacritical mark of a macron, a horizontal line written above a character to indicate a long vowel sound or syllable stress. It is often employed in several languages such as Old Church Slavonic, and it is particularly crucial for linguistic accuracy in these contexts, providing clear phonetic cues for readers familiar with the language's pronunciation rules. Although its usage might be less common in everyday digital text communication, it plays a pivotal role in academic texts, historical documents, and translations where precise phonetic representation is necessary. Furthermore, its presence emphasizes cultural sensitivity and linguistic awareness in written content, thus making it an important tool for globalized communication. Therefore, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH MACRON is not just a typographical detail but rather a significant element that bridges linguistic barriers and ensures correct phonetic interpretation in digital text.
