Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ź has the Unicode code point U+0179. 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+0179 to binary:
00000001 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+0179, also known as Latin Capital Letter Z with Acute, is a Unicode character primarily used in typography for representing the letter "Z" with an acute accent (ˇ). Its typical usage is to differentiate between similar-looking characters or phonemes in various languages that use the Latin alphabet. In some linguistic contexts, this character may be employed to denote a specific pronunciation of the letter "Z," distinguishing it from other instances where "Z" might appear without an acute accent. This character is crucial for accurate transcription and translation in certain cultural or technical contexts, ensuring clarity in written communication. By focusing on accuracy and avoiding fluff, U+0179 contributes to the precision of digital text across multiple languages and applications.
