Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character dž has the Unicode code point U+01C6. 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+01C6 to binary:
00000001 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+01C6, the Latin Small Letter Dz with Caron, is a Unicode character that holds significant importance in digital text representation, particularly for languages within the Slavic linguistic group. Its primary role is to provide accurate orthographic representation of certain phonetic sounds, specifically the 'dz' sound with an additional palatalization indicated by the caron diacritical mark. This allows for more precise communication and better preservation of cultural nuances in digital text. The character's usage extends beyond written language, as it can also be employed in fields such as cryptography, computational linguistics, and information technology to ensure accurate and efficient data processing and analysis. As a result, U+01C6 serves as an essential tool for maintaining cultural authenticity and clarity across digital platforms and applications.
