Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ļ has the Unicode code point U+013C. 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+013C to binary:
00000001 00111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+013C represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH CEDILLA." This typographic symbol is primarily used in digital text to represent a variant of the lowercase letter 'L' in certain languages, including Czech and Slovak. In these languages, it serves as a distinct letter rather than just a diacritical mark. The cedilla (the hook underneath the letter) is used in various languages to distinguish similar sounds or alter the sound of the base letter. While its usage is less common in other languages, it still plays an important role for accurate representation and comprehension of these specific linguistic systems. Accurate use and understanding of this character are essential for correct digital text processing, especially for translation, localization, and global communication purposes.
