Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ơ has the Unicode code point U+01A1. 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+01A1 to binary:
00000001 10100001. 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+01A1 is the Unicode character code for "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH HORN," commonly used in typography and digital text representation. This special letter is derived from the Latin alphabet and features a distinctive, upwardly curved stroke that resembles a small horn extending from the upper right side of the letter "o." The character plays a significant role in various languages, particularly those with complex orthographies or those influenced by the Latin script. Its unique appearance allows for clear differentiation between similar letters and can help convey specific phonetic features in certain linguistic contexts. Due to its cultural and typographical significance, U+01A1 has become a vital element in digital text encoding systems, enabling accurate and consistent representation of written content across diverse platforms and devices.
