Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ů has the Unicode code point U+016E. 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+016E to binary:
00000001 01101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+016E, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE, is a typographical symbol used to represent the letter 'U' with a distinctive diacritical mark placed above it. This character is typically utilized in digital text, particularly in linguistic and cultural contexts where accented letters are necessary for accurate representation of language or dialect. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE has significant use in various European languages such as Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Estonian, and others where it is employed to differentiate words with similar base letters but distinct pronunciations. In the realm of technical writing and coding, this character may be used to illustrate specific programming syntax or to convey unique language rules in software development. By incorporating the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE into digital text, accuracy and clarity are enhanced, enabling more effective communication across diverse linguistic landscapes.
