Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȭ has the Unicode code point U+022D. 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+022D to binary:
00000010 00101101. 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:
11001000 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+022D, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH TILDE AND MACRON", plays a significant role in digital text by providing accurate representation of certain alphabetic characters in various languages and scripts. It combines two diacritical marks - the tilde (~) and the macron (¯) - to create a unique appearance for the letter 'o'. This combination is commonly used in some regional dialects of the Spanish language, particularly in Latin America, where it represents a nasalized vowel sound. In the context of typography, its use allows for greater expressiveness and accuracy in representing the sounds of specific words or phrases, facilitating clearer communication across linguistic boundaries. The character's inclusion in Unicode ensures its availability and compatibility across digital platforms, further promoting inclusivity and accurate representation in global communications.
