Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǻ has the Unicode code point U+01FA. 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+01FA to binary:
00000001 11111010. 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+01FA, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE AND ACUTE," is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text to represent a specific letter within certain languages and alphabets. This character combines two diacritical marks: the ring above (U+02D8) and the acute accent (U+00B4). The combination of these marks with the base letter 'A' denotes an distinct phonetic or orthographic distinction in some languages, particularly those belonging to the Romance language family. In certain regions of Spain and Latin America, this character is used in the local variant of the Spanish alphabet for teaching purposes, as it helps differentiate between sounds that are otherwise homophonic. However, its usage is not limited to Spanish; other languages might employ this combination of diacritical marks for specific phonetic or orthographic requirements. In terms of technical context, this character adheres to the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistency and compatibility across different platforms and devices when displaying and processing text in various languages. Overall, U+01FA serves a vital function in digital text by facilitating accurate representation and communication within specific linguistic contexts.
