Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǭ has the Unicode code point U+01ED. 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+01ED to binary:
00000001 11101101
. 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+01ED, "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH OGONEK AND MACRON", is a typographical representation used in digital text to display the letter 'o' with an ogonek and a macron diacritical marks. This special character serves a significant role in the Polish language where it helps denote the pronunciation of the letter 'o'. In the context of linguistic representation, U+01ED assists in differentiating between the distinct sounds of 'o' that may not be easily distinguishable in other languages with a standard latin alphabet. In digital text, this character is commonly used for transcribing and transliterating Polish words into English or other non-Polish languages, aiding in understanding and communication across different cultures and dialects. It helps preserve the original pronunciation and intonation of Polish words when written using an alphabet that may not have direct equivalents for all phonemes in the Polish language.
