Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ŏ has the Unicode code point U+014F. 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+014F to binary:
00000001 01001111. 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:
11000101 10001111

Description
U+014F, known as the Latin Small Letter O with Breve, is a unique typographical character used primarily in digital text for representing specific phonetic distinctions in various languages. The Latin script, on which the majority of modern writing systems are based, often incorporates diacritical marks like the breve to denote subtle variations in pronunciation or tone. In the case of the Latin Small Letter O with Breve, it is typically utilized in Celtic languages such as Irish and Manx Gaelic, as well as in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) for marking stress in text transcriptions. By accentuating specific letters within a word, this character assists in conveying accurate pronunciation to readers and helps maintain clarity in written communication across various linguistic contexts.
