Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǧ has the Unicode code point U+01E6. 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+01E6 to binary:
00000001 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+01E6 is a typographical character known as the Latin Capital Letter G with Caron (Ḡ). It belongs to the Unicode Standard, a system that encodes characters from scripts across the world. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the "Ĥ" letter in various languages, such as Czech or Slovak. The caron (ˇ) is a diacritical mark, which means it alters the basic sound value of the letter it accompanies. In these Slavic languages, the combination of G with Caron denotes a distinct phoneme or sound that differs from the standard "G" sound in English or other languages. As such, U+01E6 plays an essential role in preserving the linguistic and cultural integrity of these languages by accurately representing their unique phonetic characteristics in digital text.
