Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ų has the Unicode code point U+0172. 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+0172 to binary:
00000001 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+0172, also known as Latin Capital Letter U with Ogonek, is a typographical character used primarily in the Polish alphabet. In digital text, it serves to represent the "ŭ" sound, which is a distinct phoneme in the Polish language. This character is an essential element of the Łacinka system, a modified version of the Latin script that was developed for use in Polish and other Slavic languages. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures accurate digital representation and accessibility across various platforms and devices. The ogonek is a diacritical mark that indicates a long vowel, and its presence in U+0172 reflects the importance of accurate phonetic representation for proper pronunciation and understanding in the Polish language.
