Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ţ has the Unicode code point U+0163. 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+0163 to binary:
00000001 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+0163, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CEDILLA", is a typographical representation used in various digital text applications. In many European languages, it is utilized to indicate the pronunciation of the letter 't' when followed by an unstressed vowel or consonant. This character provides linguistic accuracy and clarity, particularly in Spanish, Portuguese, and Czech, where its usage is widespread. The cedilla (~) beneath the letter 't' signifies a pronounced 'd' sound, differentiating it from the hard 't' sound. In digital text contexts, U+0163 ensures correct orthographic representation and pronunciation guidance for readers familiar with these linguistic traditions.
