Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȕ has the Unicode code point U+0214. 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+0214 to binary:
00000010 00010100
. 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+0214, "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DOUBLE GRAVE", is a typographical representation that serves a specific role in digital text. Its typical usage is found within Latin-based orthographies that employ diacritical marks for phonetic or morphological distinctions. In this case, the double grave accent (´) modifies the base character 'U' to create a distinct letter form. While it may not be as common in everyday language use, this character can be crucial in particular cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. For instance, it might appear in historical texts, scholarly works, or specialized dictionaries where an emphasis is placed on accurate representation of the original source material. In terms of its technical context, U+0214 may also play a role within programming languages or software applications that require precise character encoding to maintain data integrity and support multi-lingual content. Overall, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DOUBLE GRAVE (U+0214) demonstrates Unicode's comprehensive approach to capturing the richness of global linguistic expression, ensuring that even unique or less common characters are accounted for in digital communication.
