Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǖ has the Unicode code point U+01D5. 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+01D5 to binary:
00000001 11010101
. 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+01D5, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON, holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for linguists, typographers, and users of specific languages. This character is a representation of the uppercase letter 'U' with both diaeresis (or umlaut) and macron marks applied to it. The diaeresis indicates that the vowel is pronounced separately from any adjacent vowels or consonants, while the macron represents a long vowel sound. U+01D5 is predominantly used in languages like Swedish, where it denotes a distinct pronunciation for the letter 'U'. In digital text, this character helps maintain accuracy and clarity in the written form of these languages, providing an essential tool for preserving linguistic nuances.
