Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǫ has the Unicode code point U+01EA. 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+01EA to binary:
00000001 11101010. 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+01EA represents the Latin capital letter "O" with ogonek (Ḃ). This special character is commonly used in digital text for various purposes, primarily to denote specific linguistic characteristics of certain languages. In Polish and other Slavic languages, the ogonek serves as a diacritical mark indicating that the consonant following the letter is pronounced with a length similar to a vowel sound. As such, U+01EA plays a crucial role in accurately representing these sounds within digital text, facilitating communication and avoiding misunderstandings in multilingual contexts. By accurately portraying the unique linguistic features of specific languages, Unicode characters like U+01EA are essential for preserving cultural identity and fostering global understanding.
