Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȟ has the Unicode code point U+021E. 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+021E to binary:
00000010 00011110
. 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:
11001000 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+021E represents the Latin Capital Letter H with Caron (Ɛ). This character is primarily used in typography to denote the letter "H" with a caron, or acute accent, in digital text. The caron is a diacritical mark commonly found in the Slovak and Czech alphabets, where it indicates a palatalized or postalveolar consonant. In the case of "Ɛ", the caron differentiates it from the regular capital letter "H," signifying a specific phonetic sound in certain languages. The U+021E character plays a significant role in digital communications, ensuring accurate representation of text and maintaining cultural integrity for speakers of Slovak and Czech, as well as other languages that utilize diacritical marks.
