Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ē has the Unicode code point U+0113. 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+0113 to binary:
00000001 00010011. 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+0113 is the Unicode code point for "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON", a typographical character used in digital text to represent a lowercase Latin letter 'e' with a horizontal line, or macron, above it. Its primary use lies within linguistic and cultural contexts where the macron serves to alter the pronunciation of the base letter 'e', typically signifying a long vowel sound. This character is particularly common in certain languages such as Irish Gaelic, Old Norse, and Old English, where it was used extensively in manuscripts from the early medieval period. In the realm of linguistic studies and historical document transcription, the LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON plays a crucial role in accurately representing original text and maintaining fidelity to the source material. The Unicode character helps maintain consistency and clarity in digital text representation, making it easier for researchers, translators, and language enthusiasts to study and appreciate these historical texts.
