Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǎ has the Unicode code point U+01CD. 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+01CD to binary:
00000001 11001101. 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:
11000111 10001101

Description
U+01CD, known as the Latin Capital Letter A with Caron (Ẑ), is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the range of accented Latin letters. In digital text, it primarily serves to represent the sound "ʌ" or "ô" and is used predominantly in various Slavic languages such as Czech, Slovak, Polish, and Upper Sorbian. The caron diacritic (ˇ) modifies the base character 'A' to provide a distinct phonetic value that may not be present in other Latin alphabets. This character plays an essential role in transcribing and translating texts within these languages accurately, as it represents a unique sound that might otherwise be misinterpreted or mistranslated. The use of U+01CD contributes to the linguistic richness and diversity by preserving the individuality and nuances of specific phonetic characteristics in these languages through accurate digital representation.
