Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character LJ has the Unicode code point U+01C7. 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+01C7 to binary:
00000001 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+01C7, the Latin Capital Letter Lj, is a unique character in the Unicode standard, frequently utilized within the Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian languages. It serves as a vital component of their alphabet, specifically in the Romanization system that facilitates the representation of these South Slavic languages using the Latin script. In digital text, it is employed to accurately transcribe words containing the combination of L and J sounds, which are unique to these languages but not found in many other languages using the Latin script. Its importance lies in its ability to maintain linguistic integrity while enabling cross-linguistic communication through the use of a standardized character set. The Latin Capital Letter Lj is an essential element of Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian typography, ensuring accurate representation of their specific phonetic and orthographic characteristics within digital mediums.
