Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȅ has the Unicode code point U+0205. 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+0205 to binary:
00000010 00000101. 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+0205, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DOUBLE GRAVE," serves a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the realm of typography. This unique character is utilized to represent the letter "e" with two grave accents (¨), which are diacritical marks placed above the letter. In certain linguistic contexts, such as the Occitan language, this particular letter combination holds cultural importance and is used to distinguish it from other similar letters or phonetic representations. The U+0205 character allows for accurate digital representation of these specific linguistic features, facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage in digital texts.
