Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ğ has the Unicode code point U+011F. 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+011F to binary:
00000001 00011111. 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+011F, also known as LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH BREVE, is a special alphabetic symbol used primarily in digital text. It plays a crucial role in typography by representing the 'g' letter with a breve (a short horizontal line under it). The breve is significant in phonetics and orthography, as it denotes a distinct pronunciation that distinguishes this character from other similar-looking letters. This particular symbol has cultural and linguistic relevance in various languages, such as Old Irish, Middle Welsh, and certain Iberian scripts. However, its usage is quite limited today, primarily used for specialized purposes like transcription or academic works requiring historical or regional variations of the Latin alphabet. Overall, U+011F LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH BREVE is a lesser-known yet essential character in Unicode, contributing to the richness and diversity of digital text representation.
