Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǻ has the Unicode code point U+01FB. 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+01FB to binary:
00000001 11111011. 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+01FB, or "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE AND ACUTE," is a significant typographical element in digital text, playing a vital role in the representation of certain linguistic and cultural contexts. This character combines two diacritical marks, a ring above and an acute accent, with the base letter "a." The combination is used predominantly in the Romanian language, where it represents a specific phoneme that does not exist in English or many other languages. In this capacity, U+01FB enables accurate digital transcription of Romanian words, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic integrity. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that text in various platforms and applications can represent the full range of sounds and nuances within the Romanian language and others with similar diacritical mark usage.
