Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ń has the Unicode code point U+0144. 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+0144 to binary:
00000001 01000100. 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+0144 is the Unicode code point for "LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH ACUTE". It represents a lowercase letter in the Latin script that features an additional horizontal line above the letter, known as an acute accent. This character is predominantly used in digital text to represent certain distinct phonetic or orthographic distinctions within languages like Spanish, Portuguese, and some other Romance languages. In these languages, the 'n' with an acute accent (N̋) typically distinguishes between a nasalized vowel sound and a different consonantal sound. It is essential to note that the use of this character is not just linguistic but also plays a significant role in phonetic transcription, where it can represent specific sounds not available through standard ASCII characters. The accurate representation of such sounds helps maintain clarity in written communication across various linguistic and cultural contexts.
