Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǐ has the Unicode code point U+01D0. 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+01D0 to binary:
00000001 11010000
. 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+01D0, the Latin Small Letter I with Caron, is a crucial character in Unicode typography, specifically used in the Czech and Slovak languages. Its primary role lies in distinguishing between similar sounds, as it adds a unique diacritical mark to the letter "i". This distinguishing characteristic plays an essential part in digital text, enabling precise communication and understanding in these linguistic contexts. The Caron (ˇ), or acute accent, is placed above the letter "i" and signifies palatalization, which alters the pronunciation and meaning of a word. By adding the Latin Small Letter I with Caron, speakers can accurately convey specific words and sounds that are unique to the Czech and Slovak languages, ensuring proper communication in digital texts.
