Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ň has the Unicode code point U+0148. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0148 to binary:
00000001 01001000
. 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+0148, the Latin Small Letter N with Caron, is a character in the Unicode standard primarily used to represent the letter 'n' with an acute accent in digital text. This character is most commonly employed in the Czech and Slovak languages, where it denotes a unique phoneme distinct from that of the unaccented 'n'. The Caron, or háček, serves as a diacritical mark indicating palatalization of the preceding consonant, altering its pronunciation. In these languages, the character plays an important role in distinguishing words with different meanings and grammatical functions. As part of the Unicode standard, U+0148 facilitates accurate representation and communication of these distinctions across various digital platforms, aiding in the preservation of linguistic nuance and cultural identity.
