Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȇ has the Unicode code point U+0207. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0207 to binary:
00000010 00000111
. 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
U+0207, known as the Latin Small Letter E with Inverted Breve, is a typographical character used primarily within digital text to denote a specific pronunciation of the letter 'E' in certain linguistic contexts. The character was introduced in Unicode version 1.0 in October 1991 and has since been widely adopted for its precise representation of this particular phonetic variation. In some dialects of French, Scottish Gaelic, and Icelandic, the Latin Small Letter E with Inverted Breve is employed to represent a distinct pronunciation of 'E' that contrasts with the standard one. This character plays an important role in preserving linguistic diversity and ensuring accurate representation of regional accents within digital texts.
