Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǫ has the Unicode code point U+01EB. 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+01EB to binary:
00000001 11101011. 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:
11000111 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+01EB, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH OGONEK", is primarily utilized in digital text to represent a modified form of the lowercase letter 'o' within specific languages and alphabets. Its most notable application lies within the Polish language, where it serves as an essential element in orthography, representing the distinct phoneme /ɔ/. The ogonek (a small tail or hook at the bottom right side of the character) denotes the palatalization of this sound when followed by certain consonants. This character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation and communication of various linguistic nuances, supporting the preservation of cultural identity and diversity across different languages and digital platforms.
