Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȧ has the Unicode code point U+0226. 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+0226 to binary:
00000010 00100110. 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 character U+0226, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DOT ABOVE, is a letter commonly used in digital text for various purposes related to typography, linguistics, and cultural representation. Typically found in uppercase form, this character serves as an accent-marked version of the Latin alphabet's "A." Its use is prevalent in several languages that employ diacritical marks to modify the pronunciation or meaning of letters, such as Polish, Hungarian, and Czech. In these languages, U+0226 is used to denote a specific phonetic distinction, highlighting a distinct sound from the standard "A" without any accent marks. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DOT ABOVE also plays an essential role in transcription and transliteration processes, allowing for accurate representation of words or phrases from languages with complex phonetic systems to those using the Latin alphabet.
