Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ŕ has the Unicode code point U+0155. 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+0155 to binary:
00000001 01010101. 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
The Unicode character U+0155 represents the letter 'R' with an acute accent, commonly denoted as ŕ. This character is primarily used in various digital text settings for representing the modified Latin alphabet in languages such as Czech, Polish, and Slovak. In these languages, the use of the acute accent on the letter 'R' signifies a phonetic distinction, typically denoting a more pronounced or soft pronunciation compared to the unaccented 'R'. The presence of this character in digital text can be attributed to its importance in orthographic systems where it plays a significant role in distinguishing words and meaning. In terms of technical context, U+0155 falls under the range of characters defined by the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character in the written languages of the world, ensuring consistent representation across different platforms and devices.
