Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȭ has the Unicode code point U+022C. 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+022C to binary:
00000010 00101100. 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+022C, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH TILDE AND MACRON", plays a crucial role in digital text by facilitating the accurate representation of specific linguistic elements. Typically used in languages like Spanish and Portuguese, this character combines two diacritical marks - a tilde (~) and a macron (-) - to modify the base letter "O". The tilde serves to denote a palatal or postalveolar sound, while the macron indicates a long vowel sound. This combination of diacritics allows for precise phonetic representation, which is essential for accurate communication and comprehension in these languages. In addition to its linguistic utility, U+022C also serves technical purposes within certain software and encoding systems that require specific character representations. Overall, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH TILDE AND MACRON (U+022C) is an indispensable element in digital text, enabling clear expression and understanding across various cultural and linguistic contexts.
