Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǔ has the Unicode code point U+01D3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+01D3 to binary:
00000001 11010011
. 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:
11000111 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+01D3, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH CARON," is a unique typographical element used in various digital texts. Its role primarily lies within the realms of linguistic and cultural contexts, specifically for languages that use the Latin script with additional diacritical marks. The caron (ˇ), represented by the hat-like symbol above the letter "U," is one such diacritic. This particular character is commonly employed in the Slavic languages, such as Czech and Slovak, where it serves to indicate a palatalization of consonants and represents a distinct phoneme. By incorporating the U+01D3 character into digital texts, authors can ensure accurate representation of these languages and maintain linguistic integrity. In terms of technical context, the Unicode standard (which includes U+01D3) facilitates consistent encoding, storage, and retrieval of text data across different platforms and devices, thus promoting effective communication and collaboration in our increasingly globalized world.
