Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ņ has the Unicode code point U+0146. 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+0146 to binary:
00000001 01000110. 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+0146, the Latin Small Letter N with Cedilla, is a typographical character primarily used in digital text for representing the sound /ɲ/ in various languages that utilize the Latin script. The cedilla (ⱷ), a diacritical mark resembling an upside-down hat, is placed under the letter 'n' to distinguish the sound from the regular voiced alveolar nasal /n/. This character is commonly used in Catalan, Portuguese, and other Romance languages, where it plays a crucial role in accurate phonetic representation. In addition to its linguistic significance, the Latin Small Letter N with Cedilla has cultural implications, as it reflects the unique pronunciation and vocalization patterns of different regional dialects within these languages. By accurately representing these sounds, U+0146 contributes to the preservation of linguistic heritage and promotes better understanding among speakers of various dialects.
