Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȍ has the Unicode code point U+020C. 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+020C to binary:
00000010 00001100. 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+020C, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DOUBLE GRAVE," holds a unique position in the world of typography. Its primary role is to serve as a capital letter variant in digital text, particularly within typographical or linguistic contexts that require an accentuated 'O.' The double grave accent (`) signifies a lengthening or emphasis on the sound represented by this letter, similar to other accented letters in various languages. Though its usage may be relatively niche compared to more common accented characters like U+006F (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE), the double grave accent serves a crucial function in certain regional dialects or specialized fields where this particular sound differentiation is necessary. The Unicode character set ensures that diverse linguistic and cultural contexts are accommodated, allowing for accurate representation of these sounds across digital platforms. In summary, U+020C, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DOUBLE GRAVE, is a vital character in typography, providing an essential accentuation to the capital letter 'O' in specific linguistic or cultural contexts. The Unicode character set's comprehensive nature allows for this unique accentuation to be utilized and recognized across various digital platforms.
