Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǵ has the Unicode code point U+01F4. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+01F4 to binary:
00000001 11110100
. 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+01F4, also known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH ACUTE, is a typographical representation in the Latin script. Its primary usage is to denote the pronunciation of the letter "G" with an acute accent in digital text. This accented letter is commonly used in various languages such as Catalan, Galician, and several other Romance languages where it serves to differentiate between distinct phonetic values of the letter G. In linguistic contexts, U+01F4 contributes to accuracy and clarity by emphasizing the specific pronunciation intended, which is a crucial aspect in written communication. From a technical perspective, this character code enables consistent representation across digital platforms and software that adhere to Unicode standards, ensuring uniformity and interoperability in global text processing and display.
