Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ŗ has the Unicode code point U+0157. 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+0157 to binary:
00000001 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+0157, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH CEDILLA," plays a significant role in digital text by representing the modified form of the letter 'r' in various languages. This character is commonly utilized in Czech, Romanian, and Slovak alphabets, where it serves to distinguish the pronunciation of the letter 'r.' The cedilla (the diacritical mark below the letter) denotes a distinct sound change from the standard pronunciation of 'r' in these languages. This character's accurate representation is vital for maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural context in digital communication. By employing U+0157, writers can effectively convey the correct pronunciation and meaning, thus facilitating better understanding among speakers of different languages or dialects.
