Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǔ has the Unicode code point U+01D4. 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+01D4 to binary:
00000001 11010100
. 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+01D4, known as the "Latin Small Letter U with Caron," plays a crucial role in various languages that employ diacritical marks. Typically used in Czech and Slovak alphabets, this character serves to denote the pronunciation of the letter 'u' when followed by certain consonants. The caron, or háček (ˇ), is one of several diacritical marks utilized within Slavic languages to alter phonetic values of letters, illustrating the importance of accurate and precise representation in digital text for preserving linguistic nuances.
