Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȟ has the Unicode code point U+021F. 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+021F to binary:
00000010 00011111. 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+021F, also known as LATIN SMALL LETTER H WITH CARON, is a valuable typographical element in digital text for representing the letter "h" with an acute accent (caron) in the Slovak and Czech languages. This character plays a crucial role in differentiating between similar words or phonemes that may not be clearly distinguished by other means. U+021F ensures proper pronunciation and comprehension of text for speakers of these languages, as it distinguishes between the sounds represented by "h" and "č" or "š". The Unicode Standard (which encompasses U+021F) is an essential tool in promoting cross-platform compatibility and accurate rendering of text across different devices and software, thereby fostering global communication.
