Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȫ has the Unicode code point U+022A. 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+022A to binary:
00000010 00101010. 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+022A represents the Latin capital letter "O" with diaeresis and macron. This character is utilized in digital text to denote a specific phonetic pronunciation of the letter "O", as it combines both the diaeresis, which indicates the presence of an additional vowel sound, and the macron, which signifies a long vowel sound. Its usage primarily serves linguistic purposes, particularly in languages like Swiss German or Norwegian where these diacritical marks are essential for proper pronunciation guidance. The character's significance lies in its ability to differentiate between various phonetic interpretations of the letter "O" and to accurately represent regional dialects, contributing to the richness of global linguistic diversity.
