Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ď has the Unicode code point U+010F. 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+010F to binary:
00000001 00001111. 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+010F, named LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CARON, plays a vital role in digital text representation by offering a diacritical mark known as a caron or háček to the letter "d." This accent is particularly significant for the Czech and Slovak languages where it modifies the sound of the "d" character. By providing this unique accent, U+010F enables accurate pronunciation and communication in these languages, distinguishing similar sounds that could otherwise lead to miscommunication. U+010F is part of the Latin Extended-A Unicode block (U+0256-U+02AF), which offers a broad array of diacritical characters for various languages that use Latin-based scripts. As a fundamental component of the Unicode Standard, U+010F and its counterparts facilitate reliable text representation and encoding across multiple platforms and devices, promoting global communication harmony. In cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, the usage of diacritical marks like the caron (U+010F) is indispensable in ensuring accurate representation of sounds in different languages. This practice enables better readability and fosters a more comprehensive understanding of diverse cultures and their unique linguistic characteristics.
