Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ķ has the Unicode code point U+0137. 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+0137 to binary:
00000001 00110111. 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:
11000100 10110111

Description
U+0137, also known as Latin Small Letter K with Cedilla, is a Unicode character primarily used in typography to denote a specific letter variation within certain languages and scripts. In digital text, this character represents an altered form of the letter 'k,' where the cedilla diacritic (ˇ) is placed under the letter's vertical stroke. This alteration changes its pronunciation and meaning within the language context. Latin Small Letter K with Cedilla is commonly found in Portuguese and several other Romance languages, such as Galician and ASTM Portuguese, where it represents a distinct phoneme. The character's usage plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic integrity and accurately conveying meaning in written communication for speakers of these languages.
