Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ű has the Unicode code point U+0171. 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+0171 to binary:
00000001 01110001. 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+0171, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DOUBLE ACUTE", is a specialized typographic symbol primarily used in digital text for representing the letter 'u' with double acute accent marks in various languages and scripts. This character is most commonly utilized within the context of Latin-based alphabets, particularly those that require diacritical marks to distinguish between homographs or signify specific phonetic characteristics. In certain regions and linguistic communities, such as those speaking Catalan, Czech, or Romanian, the use of U+0171 plays a significant role in accurately conveying pronunciation and meaning. Additionally, this character is often employed in the fields of cryptography and computer science for encoding purposes, due to its unique combination of diacritics that can help differentiate between similar-looking characters in various alphabets.
