Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǩ has the Unicode code point U+01E8. 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+01E8 to binary:
00000001 11101000. 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+01E8, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH CARON," holds significance in digital text due to its representation of a specific letter within certain alphabets. This character is primarily used in the Czech language, where it represents the sound "k" with an additional palatalized pronunciation. The caron, or háček (ˇ), is a diacritical mark that signifies a change in the pronunciation of the base letter. This modification is vital for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity within digital texts, particularly for languages such as Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic dialects. By utilizing the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH CARON (U+01E8), writers and publishers can ensure that their texts accurately represent the intended pronunciation and meaning of words in these languages.
