Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ĭ has the Unicode code point U+012D. 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+012D to binary:
00000001 00101101. 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+012D, or Latin Small Letter I with Breve, is a typographical character that plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the realms of linguistics and cultural representation. The character is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, and emoji across different languages and scripts. The Latin Small Letter I with Breve (U+012D) specifically represents a lowercase "I" that features a breve, a diacritical mark resembling an inverted V-shape, placed above the letter. This character is primarily used in languages such as Old Irish, Portuguese, and French to indicate a short vowel sound or phonetic distinction. In these contexts, it helps distinguish between similar-sounding words and provides accurate pronunciation guidance for speakers of various dialects and accents. By accurately representing the specific sounds and characteristics of a language, U+012D contributes to the preservation of linguistic heritage and supports the communication of diverse cultural expressions in digital media. This ensures that users from different regions can engage with content without barriers, fostering a more inclusive and accessible online environment.
