Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǎ has the Unicode code point U+01CE. 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+01CE to binary:
00000001 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+01CE represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CARON". This character is mainly used in digital text to represent a specific letter found in certain languages. Specifically, it is utilized in the Czech and Slovak alphabets, where it stands for the sound 'a' with an additional phonetic distinction provided by the caron (ˇ), which can signify a change in pronunciation or stress. In terms of linguistic context, the caron is a diacritic mark that changes the sound value of the base letter 'a', differentiating it from other similar vowels in these languages. The character plays an essential role in accurately conveying the intended meaning and phonetics within text written in Czech or Slovak. As a standardized Unicode character, U+01CE is crucial for maintaining the integrity of digital text and ensuring accurate communication across various platforms and devices.
