Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȏ has the Unicode code point U+020E. 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+020E to binary:
00000010 00001110. 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+020E represents the "Latin Capital Letter O with Inverted Breve" (ᛠ) in typography. This unique typographic character is not commonly used in everyday digital text but holds significance in specific contexts, particularly in historical and linguistic fields. The inverted breve, a diacritical mark that appears as an upside-down semicircle or V-shape, has been historically utilized to denote long vowels in Old Irish and other early Gaelic languages. Today, the U+020E character is primarily used for typesetting historical documents, academic research, and digital publications that explore ancient scripts and languages. It provides an essential tool for those studying or preserving the rich linguistic heritage of these historical periods.
