Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character DŽ has the Unicode code point U+01C4. 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+01C4 to binary:
00000001 11000100. 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+01C4, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ WITH CARON," is a typographic symbol used in digital text to represent the modified letter "dz" with an additional diacritical mark, or caron. It serves a crucial role in various languages that utilize the Latin script, particularly those spoken in Central and Eastern Europe. One such language is Slovak, where the character is used as part of the alphabet and plays an essential part in phonetic representation. The addition of the caron to "dz" changes its pronunciation from a simple "dz" sound to a "đz" or "dž" sound, which distinguishes it from similar Latin-based symbols without the diacritic. By accurately representing these unique sounds, U+01C4 contributes significantly to linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in digital text, ensuring that Slovak and other languages with similar characters are properly conveyed online.
