Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǘ has the Unicode code point U+01D8. 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+01D8 to binary:
00000001 11011000. 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+01D8, "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS AND ACUTE," is a typographical representation used in digital text. It primarily serves to represent the letter 'ü' in various languages and contexts. This specific glyph combines two diacritical marks: the diaeresis (also known as an umlaut) and the acute accent. The diaeresis modifies the pronunciation of the vowel, while the acute accent often indicates a change in stress or tone. This character is notably used in languages such as German, Swiss German, Luxembourgish, Dutch, and Swedish. In these languages, it replaces the 'u' to convey distinct phonetic values and nuances. For instance, in German, the combination of "ü" is pronounced as a separate vowel sound, distinct from both 'u' and 'ü'. This distinction is crucial for accurate pronunciation and comprehension in these languages. From a technical perspective, Unicode ensures the proper representation and display of such characters across different platforms, software, and devices. The character U+01D8 adheres to these standards, guaranteeing its consistent usage and appearance throughout digital text, thereby contributing to the integrity of typed content.
