Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ć has the Unicode code point U+0107. 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+0107 to binary:
00000001 00000111. 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
The Unicode character U+0107, also known as the Latin Small Letter C with Acute (LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE), plays a significant role in digital typography and linguistics, particularly within languages that utilize the Latin alphabet. This character is commonly used to represent the sound 'ç', which is distinct from the regular 'c' in various contexts. In cultures where these languages are spoken, such as Portuguese, French, Galician, Catalan, and Turkish, U+0107 aids in clear communication and understanding by accurately representing this unique phoneme. The acute accent (0301) above the 'c' indicates its pronunciation, which may be silent or voiceless without it. U+0107 is part of the Latin Extended-A Unicode block, a crucial component of the Unicode system that expands the capabilities of the Latin alphabet for various languages. The Latin Extended-A block (U+0256 to U+02AF) provides an array of diacritical characters and accented letters designed to cater to the unique phonetic and orthographic needs of languages using Latin-based scripts, promoting accuracy in representing sounds and enhancing readability. In technical terms, U+0107 has a general category of Ll (Letter, Lowercase), bidiClass of L (Left-to-Right), canonicalCombiningClass of 0, decompositionTypeAndMapping of 0063 0301, and no decimalDigitValue, digitValue, or numericValue. Its simpleUppercaseMapping is 0106, but it has no simpleLowercaseMapping or simpleTitlecaseMapping. Overall, U+0107 is an essential character in digital typography, contributing to accurate representation and communication across various languages that employ Latin script.
