Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ľ has the Unicode code point U+013E. 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+013E to binary:
00000001 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+013E, or the Latin Small Letter L with Caron, is a unique character in Unicode, serving as an essential component of various digital texts. Its primary role lies within the realm of linguistic representation, specifically for the Slavic languages. In these languages, it is utilized to denote the "L" sound with a palatalized pronunciation. The Caron, represented by the háček diacritical mark (ˇ), is crucial as it differentiates this sound from the regular unpalatalized version of the letter "L". This character is vital for accurate transcription and translation within these linguistic contexts, ensuring that the intended meaning is effectively conveyed. In the technical realm, U+013E plays a critical role in encoding systems, enabling the proper display of text and facilitating seamless communication across diverse digital platforms. Its significance lies not only in its utilization within specific languages but also as an integral part of Unicode's comprehensive approach to representing the world's vast array of written expressions.
