Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȯ has the Unicode code point U+022E. 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+022E to binary:
00000010 00101110. 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+022E, Latin Capital Letter O with Dot Above, is a typographic symbol used in various applications to represent the uppercase letter "O" with a dot above it. This character is primarily employed in digital text for transcribing words and phrases from languages that use this diacritical mark, such as Old Church Slavic, Middle High German, Old Norse, and some modern languages like Estonian and Karelian. The dot above the letter serves to distinguish it from other similar letters without a dot, helping maintain clarity in text for both human readers and optical character recognition software. In digital typography, U+022E is used to preserve historical text, facilitate linguistic research, or enhance visual aesthetics in specific design projects.
