Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ȗ has the Unicode code point U+0216. 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+0216 to binary:
00000010 00010110. 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+0216, known as the Latin Capital Letter U with Inverted Breve, serves a specific role in digital typography. It is predominantly used to represent the letter "U" in certain types of text where an inverted breve (a horizontal line below the letter) is necessary or desired for stylistic purposes or to distinguish it from other similar characters. The inverted breve may be employed in various contexts such as handwriting, historical texts, or specific typographical styles. This character is not commonly used in everyday digital text and its usage is typically limited to specialized documents or those requiring unique typographic treatments. It has no cultural or linguistic significance beyond its role as a variant of the standard "U" letter.
