Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character č has the Unicode code point U+010D. 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+010D to binary:
00000001 00001101. 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+010D, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CARON," plays a crucial role in digital typography, particularly in representing specific phonetic features of various languages, most notably the Czech language. In this context, it is used to denote the voiced palatal plosive sound that is transcribed as 'ř' in the Latin script. The caron (ˇ), a diacritical mark resembling an apostrophe-like symbol, modifies the base character 'c,' altering its pronunciation and meaning within these linguistic systems. This Unicode character contributes significantly to preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating accurate communication in languages that rely on diacritical marks for proper pronunciation and meaning. The LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CARON is part of the Latin Extended-A Unicode block, which expands the capabilities of the Latin alphabet for various languages by incorporating an array of diacritical characters and accented letters. This block, ranging from U+0256 to U+02AF, is primarily used in European languages, but can also be employed in other linguistic contexts where these diacritical marks are relevant. In the broader technical context, the LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CARON is a testament to Unicode's commitment to inclusive digital typography, ensuring accurate representation of diverse languages and preserving their cultural integrity in the digital realm.
