Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ř has the Unicode code point U+0159. 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+0159 to binary:
00000001 01011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+0159, the Latin Small Letter R with Caron, plays a significant role in typography and Unicode character encoding. This character is used to represent the letter 'ř' in digital text. It is primarily utilized in Czech, a West Slavic language spoken by millions of people worldwide. In linguistic contexts, the caron (ˇ) symbol added to the letter 'r' denotes palatalization, which alters the pronunciation and articulation of the consonant when combined with certain vowels. The Latin Small Letter R with Caron is an essential element in the accurate representation of the Czech language and facilitates clear communication among its speakers. As a part of Unicode, U+0159 ensures that this unique character is consistently recognized across various digital platforms, maintaining linguistic integrity and fostering global understanding.
