Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ě has the Unicode code point U+011B. 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+011B to binary:
00000001 00011011. 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+011B, also known as LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH CARON, is a vital character in the Unicode standard that significantly contributes to the diversity of digital text. This specific character serves a critical role in the Slovak and Czech languages, where it represents an 'e' with a caron or acute accent (ˇ), producing a sound distinct from both English 'e' and 'ě'. Its usage in these languages is crucial for accurate representation of phonetics and meaning within texts. The character's prominence stems not only from its linguistic importance but also from the cultural significance it holds. In countries where Slovak or Czech are spoken, this character helps maintain the richness and expressiveness of their native languages. The caron-accented 'e' aids in distinguishing certain sounds that do not exist in other languages, ensuring clear communication and preserving linguistic heritage. In the realm of digital text, U+011B is indispensable for accurate translations, proper encoding, and the precise representation of these languages on various platforms worldwide. By ensuring accurate representation of these sounds, the LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH CARON plays a significant role in both linguistic and cultural continuity in an increasingly digital world.
