Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ż has the Unicode code point U+017B. 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+017B to binary:
00000001 01111011. 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:

Description
U+017B, Latin Capital Letter Z with Dot Above, is a Unicode character often employed in typography to represent the Spanish pronunciation of 'Z'. It is used primarily in digital text to denote the distinct sound of 'S' in Spanish, which is a phonetic deviation from its English counterpart. This character is particularly significant for linguists and researchers studying Spanish-language accents and dialects. In terms of technical context, U+017B is utilized in various software applications, such as word processors and web development tools, to ensure accurate representation of the intended sound in written text. Its use enhances readability and comprehension for speakers of languages where this pronunciation of 'Z' is common, fostering effective communication in digital spaces.
