Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǖ has the Unicode code point U+01D6. 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+01D6 to binary:
00000001 11010110. 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+01D6, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON", is a specialized typographical element utilized in digital text representation. It serves to denote the lowercase letter 'u' with both diaeresis and macron diacritical marks. These marks are used to indicate specific pronunciations or variations in certain languages, such as German (diaeresis) and French (macron). The combination of these two diacritics is less common, but may be employed in particular linguistic contexts or for typographical purposes, such as creating distinct visual styles. In digital text, U+01D6 allows for the accurate representation of these nuanced character variations and can be used to maintain linguistic integrity in written communication across different languages and dialects. Its utilization is primarily driven by the need for precise language reproduction in fields like translation, historical research, or digital humanities.
