Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ĥ has the Unicode code point U+0125. 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+0125 to binary:
00000001 00100101. 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+0125 is the Unicode code point for "LATIN SMALL LETTER H WITH CIRCUMFLEX", which is a typographical character used in digital text. This character represents the lowercase letter 'h' with a circumflex accent, denoting an nasalized 'h' sound in certain languages, such as French and Portuguese. In these languages, it is used to indicate a specific phonetic change from the regular 'h' sound. While its usage is less common in everyday digital text, it remains an essential tool for those working with languages where this particular pronunciation distinction is vital.
