Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ċ has the Unicode code point U+010B. 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+010B to binary:
00000001 00001011. 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 ċ (U+010B), also known as the Latin Small Letter C with Dot Above, plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly within the context of Slovak, Czech, Polish, and other select languages. This character is employed to represent the distinct letter 'č', which sets it apart from the 'c' sound. In doing so, it helps preserve linguistic identity and foster cultural understanding by accurately conveying spoken sounds in written form. Belonging to the Latin Extended-A Unicode block (U+0256 to U+02AF), this character is part of a series of diacritical marks and accented letters designed specifically for languages using Latin script. The Latin Small Letter C with Dot Above, along with other characters in this block, such as "Ć", "ć", "Ĉ", "ĉ", "Ċ", "ċ", and "Č", "č", serve to increase the versatility of the Latin alphabet by catering to their unique phonetic and orthographic needs. While it primarily finds use in European languages, this character can also be utilized in other linguistic contexts where diacritical marks are relevant. In essence, this character, like others within its Unicode block, plays a vital role in ensuring accurate communication across various languages employing Latin script.
